format iliad

hi i had recently subscribed to a few RSS feeds and now about 10 of them are corrupt files.

i tried to delete them using the linux rm command but it says read-only file system.
i cant delete them using my windows-based PC too.

someone in another forum suggested that i format the iliad.

is formatting the best and only solution?

can i format it from windows as i am a newbie to linux?

when i right click on the iliad drive in windows i get the format option.. is that safe to use?

thanks

If you have made a backup of your (usable) files, yes it's safe.

Remember to format it to FAT32 file system.
