Remove CDFS partition

[CAseiro]

Hey

Does anyone know how to remove a CDFS partition on a pen drive?
This pen came with a ROG motherboard, it has 25GB free and 5GB locked for drivers. Does anyone know if it can be formatted to keep the 30GB?

thanks.

Use a command line Diskpart. You have to delete the partition. Probably find a YT vid on it. Save everything you want prior.

Here is one.

I can't format in the disk manager and in Powershell only the disks appear to me, the partition that has the other 5 GB appears as if it were a CD

It will take the command line. I am just having a hard time remembering the exact syntax I used for locked partitions,
