My USB drive is quite dirty so what should I use to clean it??
Some people use Isopropyl alcohol, others use Compressed Air ( That doesn't make much sense
to me, Pushing air into the system??? ) Some people use "Cyber Clean"

Anyway, I could use some help.
Thanks.

well what is the garbage? I guess a toothpick might be a better idea as the data/power pins could be softer metal. if it is something like bubble gum then I am not sure of a good way besides soaking it is WD40 which may or may not ruin the drive as well.


Ok then, The USB drive is dirty on the outside and inside. I already have 99% Isopropyl so it should dry quite fast.
If I use a pin to work it out, should I worry about damaging the pins inside the port or not?
