To clean the MBR on a removable drive like a USB, you can use Diskpart on Windows or GParted on Linux. On Windows, run Command Prompt as administrator, open Diskpart, select the correct disk, and use the "clean" command to wipe the MBR and all partitions. On Linux, use a tool like GParted to create a new partition table, which also removes the MBR. This process completely clears the drive, so double-check the selected device before proceeding.
