Nowadays, people rarely "format" (*) their "drives".
They create filesystems on raw devices.
For example `mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX`, where

I find it objectionable when people gather "telemetry" about "me" and
not just the causes of the "blue screens of death".

I got the impression that Lee used windows in the past (and may
still), which is why I didn't suggest the same as Joe. (Lee did
write "on Debian").
And by devices, I was thinking more of TVs, printers, scan

You can easily refotrmat it, either using fdisk or if you want a GUI, use
gparted.
With fdisk (also you can use cfdisk) I suggest first to delete all partitions,

Write to disk and quit fdisk.

For the archives, this would of course have to be
$ sudo mount offset=2291712 debian-12.2.0-amd64-netinst.iso /mnt/fat
The number 2291712 was computed from the partition start block 4476
multiplied by the block size 512.

You have to delete the partitions of the USB stick which came with
the ISO.
Then you create one or more partitions.
Then you format them to a writable filesystem each.
