If you don’t care about saving anything on the drive, then open a Command Prompt window, then type DISKPART (Enter).
Then in DISKPART, type LIST DISK, find the disk that you want to completely wipe, type SELECT DISK (disk number).
Type LIST DISK again, verify that there is an asterix next to the disk number, and then type CLEAN (THIS WILL ERASE THE DISK’s FIRST million and LAST million sectors).
Type EXIT, and then EXIT.
Once back in Disk Management, it should prompt to “Initialize” the disk, either GPT or MBR. For any modern system, choose GPT.
Then just create and format a volume on it as normal, to use as a data disk.
