Cant format NVME drive

[darre]

Hi! 
So i ran into an error where i got black screen with cursor on my pc. I rebooted my whole pc, but wasn't able to format the NVME drive in my (prebuilt) asus strix 12cs. 
Instead i installed windows on the HDD. Now that im in i want to format the NVME drive so i can reboot again and install windows on my NVME again. 

But here is where the problems begin. 

I can format my drive but it always resets the data somehow!? 
Even if i go into diskpart and do "delete partition overreide" it gives me "successful" but the data comes back! Also if i just do clean in diskpart the data comes back!?!!

When i enter computer management it resets it self I also checked for errors but there are none
 

Here is the drive, its partitioned as you can see.

 

The drive contains the old windows system.
What shall i do!?

I'd try to do it using GParted from a Linux LiveUSB/LiveCD if Windows won't play ball. Do you have a spare USB drive lying around that you could use for that?

You can run Linux just off of a flash drive - no need to install it. There's actually a GParted distribution that's designed for this kind of purpose: https://gparted.org/liveusb.php

 

Also, you should probably remove any drives that you have valuable data on - just to make sure that you don't accidentally try to format the wrong drive.

ON the windows install options, can't you just delete all the partitions on that drive and select it as the OS drive after that?  That's all I ever do, have never had to use a separate partitioning tool etc.

In a world where Windows just let you do what it said on the tin, that would be a thing, but I've encountered several cases over the years where Windows partitioning tools just refused to work. Generally, it's some Windows security thing. For example, if you have Fast Boot enabled, and you do Shutdown, then Windows won't let you modify the files on that drive to protect the data integrity. BitLocker will basically do a total lock-down on modifications to the drive using any Microsoft or Windows tool - again, in an effort to protect the data.

 

Linux, on the other hand, doesn't care about your data. It just does what you tell it to do. It's like a perfectly loyal soldier that will gladly follow any order - no matter how horrific it may be - if you tell it that it's a direct order by using root or sudo.
