Answer: use a command diskutil in your terminal app.
So to explain <type of filesystem> for APFSX = case sensitive / APFSI = non case sensitive
<name of disk> put in the name of the disk you want
<disk name on diskutil list> it will be something like /dev/disk2 or disk3 etc
NOTE * it will suck for you big time if you erase the wrong one *
P.S. you can use the command diskutil for the help file on the command diskutil
jana.
