Question Format/recover a non paired Storage Spaces drive

[New User 337]

I have some drives I'm trying to bring back in service. One apparently was a Storage Spaces drive. I do not think I have its "pair". I do not care about the data on it. I have tried a half a dozen ways to to format it and start over. Each has failed including using AOMEI to remove partitions, wipe, reformat, etc. Any ideas on how to recover this drive? Is there a way to rest it to factory settings? Thanks

Remove it from the Storage Spaces pool.

Then, you can probably do anything you want with it.

But....please gives us a full description of ALL the drives in this system, and how they are configured.
