Now. Should i delete fat 32 file by typing
sudo fsck_msdos /dev/disk1s1?
Because when I type that I get

Yes,
sudo fsck_msdos /dev/disk1s1
You're not going to delete the partition, you're going to run the program fsck_msdos on it - which is what you want.
The Warning about sudo is a generic one. sudo gives you
super
user privileges, so you can potentially destroy your computer if you do enter the wrong commands. As long as you know what you are doing, you should be fine. The warning is really just a reminder that there is no safety net when running commands with sudo.
