How to format a USB Flash Drive in Ubuntu 18.04


Today we are looking at how to format a USB Pendrive on Ubuntu 18.04.  It is a pretty easy process if you know the way, and it is without touching the terminal as seen in the video.

A person formats a USB Pendrive by going to a pre-installed app on your system called disks.  Your Flash Drive will appear there and click on it.  Then click on the button (hamburger button) at the top and choose format disk.  Now choose the no partitioning option and format the Pendrive.  Lastly go to the bottom buttons, the one that looks like a tool and chooses to format it into any format you like!  Enjoy!
