Phantom disk in ubuntu, how to remove?

Question

linux

Decided to reinstall Ubuntu. Using the dd command, I wanted to write the image to a USB flash drive. I mixed up the partition and eventually wrote the image directly to the hard drive. Then I wrote it down fine. I reinstalled ubuntu, after which a phantom hard drive appeared. In gparted, I completely deleted everything, all partitions, but it remains. It is displayed on the desktop as an unmounted device with the same name as the installation flash drive.

Answer 1

We boot from livecd ubuntu, run gparted, select the disk on which the phantom appears, delete all partitions, select re-create the partition table from the top drop-down menu.

Answer 2

what's in /etc/fstab ?

Answer 3

Is it on a flash drive or disc? If on the disk, then it is there that you need to delete the partition.
