How to format your USB through Command Prompt

Formatting a USB Universal Storage Bus is common for those "USV's" or we my classmates and I, and/or some of the IT students commonly call it: Universal Storage of Viruses. An example of a USB virus is the problem that we can't access it. We can't see or at least recover our files, and it cause sometimes an error in formatting it. So I will teach you how to format a USB in other way than the GUI one -- the one that uses a right-clicking and Format--
