Method 2:
Try this:
Before you get to that message, press SHIFT + F10 to open a command prompt.
Run diskpart.
At the diskpart prompt, run these commands:
list disk
At this point you should see the SSD as disk 0. If it has another disk number, use that number rather than “0” in the next command.
select disk 0
clean
exit (to exit from diskpart)
exit (to exit from the command prompt)
That should clear the contents of the disk. The entire disk space should then show up in Windows setup as “Unallocated Space” as in the screenshot below.
