How do you clean the MBR on removal drives.
I can't remember what the command was. Trying to get rid of trojan, but also need to clean all my USB drives. I'm noticing all information seems to have been removed or moved so far down the list i...
On Windows you can wipe the MBR of a removable drive with diskpart.
Open an elevated Command Prompt, then:
diskpart
list disk
select disk <number of your USB drive>
clean
exit
⚠️ Warning: clean will erase the partition table and all data on that disk. Double-check the disk number before running it.
If you want a full overwrite (not just removing the partition table), follow up with a format or use clean all to zero the entire drive.
