[SOLVED] Flash Drive and Windows 10

[ZuluGapurtu]

Can I delete old Windows 10 bootable iso on a flash drive (trash folders) and copy a new one with Rufus? Or is it one time possible on clean flash drive

You should be able to reuse any existing flash drive. However, I Rufus is unnecessary. Run the Media Creation tool & it'll write with the newest ISO without issue.

Rufus seems simply easier. Right to the point.
So I shouldn’t worry and can delete the old os on the flash drive and install on it newer windows iso for bootable?

Easier? Instead of downloading the ISO, running Rufus, directing & finding the ISO you downloaded.... You just run the tool, point it at your Flash drive & let it run.

I'd include a format of the drive (something the Media Creation Tool will do anyway) before writing a new, but yes... it should be that simple.
