Greetings and salutations members!

Several years ago, I made a live Linux USB. If I'm not mistaken, the distro was either Antergos or Apricity OS. Not every USB creator could make the flash drive bootable. So, I had to use one that I no longer remember the name. It created two partitions on the flash drive. I am trying to make one large partition again (8 GB). Even though I am on Windows 7, I had to use Windows 10 to partition the larger partition as it was 'unallocated' in Windows 7. I thought I'd be able to delete both partition to make them both unallocated then make a single partition.

Problem solved. Bootice was able to re-partition the flash drive to USB HDD which made one partition again.
 
run CMD.exe as administrator, then type:
diskpart
list disk

Verify that your thumb drive is still labelled as Disk 1. Otherwise, change the disk number appropriately in the next step. Continue typing in the command prompt window:
select disk 1
clean


Now in your disk management snapin, you can reformat your thumb drive however you wish.
