Hello, I just bought this SanDisk Cruzer Glide 3.0, and for some unknown reason, the name of the drive is automatically changed to "IXPANDFLIP". Does anyone know how to change it to "USB Drive"?

You can format the drive, this will erase the files and remove any personalization, if you leave the "Volume label" blank, it will name it "USB Drive".

Right-click the USB drive > Format... > Start.

The process will delete any files in the USB Drive, back up the files you don't want to be deleted.

    I wanna try to make it so that Windows can give the name to the drive “USB Drive” if no name on insert.
