When I insert this USB drive, a 'ls' shows this:
Quote:
dave@dave:/media/$ ls

I can remover 90B9-56FA but not 'U3 System'. They are both on the thumb drive.

I have nothing on the drive worth saving. Would a:

Code:
fdisk /media/90B9-56FA
remove it with out damage or would 1 of these listed in the 'fdisk manual' be more apropos?
cfdisk(8), sfdisk(8), mkfs(8), parted(8), partprobe(8), kpartx(8)
Thanks for any help or insight you might have in matter.
