steps:

Important: These instructions will erase everything on the drive that you'll select
changes can't be undone. If the drive is still accessible, it's recommended to
backup its data before proceeding. If you have multiple drives connected to your
device, it's recommended to disconnect them to avoid selecting the wrong one.

Open Start.
Search for Command Prompt, right-click the top result, and select the Run as
administrator option.
Type the following command to launch DiskPart and press Enter:

diskpart

Type the following command to list all the active drives and press Enter:

list disk

Type the following command to select the drive that you want to clean and press
Enter:

select disk 0

In the command, make sure to replace 0 for the drive number that you want to
repair. If you don't perform this step correctly, you could end up wiping out the
wrong drive. Proceed with caution.

Type the following command to format the partition using the NTFS file system, set
a drive label, and press Enter:

format FS=NTFS label=Data quick


In the command, remember to replace Data for the name of the drive as you want to
appear in File Explorer. Also, the quick flag is optional for a faster format, and
you should not use it if you're not sure the drive good to perform a bad sectors.
The only downside about omitting the "quick" option is that formatting will take a
very long time.

Type the following command to assign a letter and make the drive available in File
Explorer and press Enter:
