Sure just right click the drive and select format.
Yes, you can delete it if you wish.
I have the Western Digital My Book 1.5TB.
It came formated to FAT32, and I simply formatted it to NTFS (NTFS allows for larger files, which is why I formatted it)… Which deletes everything off the drive.
The drive will function just fine without the software.
You don’t need the software on the drive or on your computer at all.
