Do windows and X again and had command prompt.
Type diskpart press enter
Type list disk
When you see the external disk listed then type select disk 1 (for example)
Then type clean press enter.
Go back to disk management and see if it's there. You will need to initialise the disk by clicking on it.

Hi
you can use Disk Management within Windows.
If you right click "Computer" and go to "Manage".
on the left-hand side select "Disk Management".
Select the partition you want to delete > Right click and away you go.

When I open disk management says connecting to virtual disk service,but never connects. I have windows 10 on HP 15 laptop. I am sure your advice would work if I could see the drive.
Thanks for the help

I am not sure what you mean by "do windows and X again and had command prompt."
Sorry,
I'm caught up in so many threads I thought you had Windows 8.
Click Start > Type CMD > Right click it and Run As Administrator
Type DISKPART press OK
type LIST DISK press OK
select your disk you want to partition and type SELECT DISK 0 (example)
type CLEAN and press OK
Go back to Disk Management (Start > type Disk Management)
you should see the disk in there and it should need initialising. This can be done by clicking on it.
