#### **ONCE YOU ARE AT THIS STEP, PAUSE THE VIDEO AND DO THE FOLLOWING STEPS:**

* Select **Custom Install:** Windows only (Advanced)
* Press **SHIFT + F10** (A CMD will pop up)
* Now write `diskpart` into the CMD
* Then write `list disk` into the CMD to see all ur drives
* Write `select disk 'X'` (X = Disk number) then write `clean` for ALL disks, besides ur USB.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**For example,** most people have one disk. Then write 'select disk 1' and then 'clean'. Incase u have two drives, ur gonna 'select disk 2' as well, and write 'clean' and so forth for all disks.

Flash drives (USB) usually have a smaller size compared to internal hard drives or SSDs, and likely the last drive listed! **DO NOT CLEAN YOUR FLASH DRIVE (USB)!** **Unsure?** Please open a ticket so we can help.
{% endhint %}

Now it should output: **'Succeeded in cleaning the disk'** or something related to **'success'**
