I'm not sure if you can do it on the XBox, but you can do it on the computer.

First, plug the flash drive into your computer, and open My Computer. Right click on the flash drive and click format. A window will pop up, just click format (don't bother changing settings). Your flash drive is ow formatted.

Please note you cannot use the same flash drive for both XBox 360 and PC simultaneously.
