I no longer require my external drive and want to use it on my PC, but it is not recognised, any idea how I get it reformatted.
Windows 10
Samsung M3 1tb portable.

Thanks

You need to use Disk Management. It's very similar to Windows 7 but harder to find

You will have to delete the existing Linux partition(s) and re-create them.
