DiskPart is a powerful built-in utility that allows you to manage storage at a low level, including cleaning and reformatting drives, creating partitions, and converting partition styles. It often works better when tools like "Disk Management" or the "Format" option in File Explorer fall short, especially if a drive has logical errors or won’t initialize.
