How do I delete / remove the WD "Smartware" bloat-ware partition from my external hard drive?

Cheers Joe !
That’s the impression I got, and the same impression I receive from all the posts I can find in this forum and in articles and posts elsewhere.

to WD.

I’m really disgusted WD hasn’t posted a simple and easily accessible fix for this, especially with all the other posts in these forums with users showing their hatred of this rubbish.

I shouldn’t have to waste so much of my time to get what is essentially pre-installed malware off my drive.
