Unfortunately Windows does not support Fdisk anymore. But there is another good command line tool to solve this problem. The tool’s name is DiskPart. I would say it is the next generation of Fdisk tool. DiskPart provides you information about your partitions and volumes, allows you to delete and create partitions, extend NTFS volumes, etc.

Let’s remove unallocated space. First of all run Windows command line and type diskpart in the command prompt. Windows will ask you for Administrator permissions to run the tool. Then run list disk command to find your USB flash disk’s number. It should be the same as disk’s number in Computer Management tool. It was 1 in my case. Next you should chose the disk to work with. Type select disk <disk number> command, e.g. select disk 1. The next step is to clean all volumes and partitions on the disk. Use clean command to do that. The last step is to create a primary partition. You can do that using create partition primary command. That’s all. You should be able to format your flash disk now.

This is how I removed unallocated space on my machine:

Microsoft DiskPart version 6.2.9200

Copyright (C) 1999-2012 Microsoft Corporation.
On computer: COMPUTER

DISKPART> list disk

Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
-------- ------------- ------- ------- --- ---
Disk 0 Online 298 GB 0 B
Disk 1 Online 7509 MB 6619 MB

DISKPART> select disk 1

Disk 1 is now the selected disk.

DISKPART> clean

DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk.

DISKPART> create partition primary

DiskPart succeeded in creating the specified partition.

DISKPART> exit

find a Linux computer and format it most time it will kick it in its butt and get it right where windows cant do crap

just to add I guess the drive could of been miss labeled as a 16 but it only a 4 ?? or a bootlegged one and you got duped ??

What do you do if the option "Delete Volume" is greyed out?

I don't have the answer, all I know is, one time where Storage Management didn't work for me, I did the DISKPART thing, from above, and that worked.

DISKPART IS DANGEROUS, make sure u understand what the various commands are doing.
