I see "Delete Volume" is an option so choose that.

Then right-click the "unallocated" space and choose "Create new simple volume"
When new volume has been created, right-click on it and choose "Format".

If it continues to give you problems just bin it.

In future, have two pen drives. One for your PC & the other for TV recording, (and maybe a third one as a spare!)

And how come it took you 12 days to reply to my first post?
