I created a live USB to install Ubuntu with, but since I have now used it it, how do I format it to turn it back into a flash drive to save files on. I know on Windows I could just right click it and click format, but how do I do that on Ubuntu?

Go into System Settings, then Disk Utility. You should see the flash drive listed. On the bottom right is the button to format, but before you can do that, you have to unmount the drive first (button just to the left).

Thanks. Now I can start using it again.
