You could do that

If it's as simple as just opening the drive, right clicking, selecting 'new', creating an entirely new folder, labelling it accordingly, then pasting the files into that no problem at all. I've done that many times on SD cards etc. I just want to be sure that's all there is to it before I go ahead.

You could do that too. There's nothing inherently different about this drive to an SD card, it works in exactly the same way as far as Windows is concerned. They've maybe just bundled some extra software on it to make things easier for you but in the end a drive is a drive. You could just wipe it entirely and it'd work exactly like a blank SD card.

OK thanks for confirming that. Will give it a try and report back when I've done that. Cheers.
