Im in Windows 10, right clicked on Start and opened Command Prompt, not sure if Diskpart can be accessed from here:



 
Write diskpart in command prompt first.
then:
list disk (this gives you list of your disks, in that image you showed you wanted to clean disk #7)
select disk 7
clean

Be very carefull with clean command - it wipes everything from your disk.
Don't clean the wrong disk.
