    I have been using a Raspberry with LibreELEC / Kodi for several years with and external HDD and TV tuner card. All in it's most basic setup but with great success as a media player.

    I have suffered two crashes that have left the SD card with the OS on corrupt. On both occasions it would appear the LibreELEC has crashed then when rebooted tried to repair the OS but reports is as corrupt.

    No great problem as a rebuild / reinstall isn't too much hassle thanks to all the great work the developers do.

    On these two occasions the SD card is reported as locked and has 5 partitions on it that once the card is unlocked are not able to be deleted.

    I've tried various SD card formatting tools on my windows PC and disk part. I've tried using disk management tools on my macbook and tried tools available on my Raspberry PI.

    Does anyone have any suggestions for anything that will remove the partitions from the sd card ?

    I suspect the card is a write off but just asking if anyone else has had a similar experience / crash.

    Cheers
