So i am trying to clean my drive with diskpart. After i type diskpart and the windows message shows up with the copyright and showong the computer, I simply cannot type anything like is my keyboard wasnt plugged in or not. I tried relaunching the cmd but nothing i can type anything but the moment i type diskpart and the windows message shows up i cannot do anything else.
 
Solution
To use diskpart commands you need to use an elevated command prompt, so right click run as admin then as long as it is not your OS drive you can use the diskpart, list disk, select disk n, and clean commands as desired.
