This is how to fix a corrupted USB drive in the case where you cannot put anymore memory or files onto it. This happens when you pull the USB out before it is safe to pull out. Make sure to backup the current files you have on the USB that you want to keep, before you do either of the two ways. When you format or delete it and remake it all your files on the USB will be lost via both ways.


1. Hit the start button

2. Scroll over to My Computer

3. Right click My Computer and select Manage

4. Click on Disc Management

Now you have two ways of going about this.

Way No. 1

5. Right click your USB filename on the right box

6. Click Format and hit OK

Way No. 2

5. Right click your USB filename on the right box

6. Select Change drive letters and path

7. Select remove and hit O.K

8. Hit O.K again right click your USB filename

9. Select Change drive letters and path

10. Click add

11. You can change the usb name to as you'd wish now.

12. Hit O.K



Made that myself, figured this site mods a lot so corrupted USB must happen quite frequently. Hope it helped.
