Title:
  Please document how users can return usb drive to a storage drive

Status in usb-creator package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  While sdc now works well it creates partitioning/formatting that the default installed Disks app cannot deal with. This will make it hard for users to return the usb drive to use as a storage device after using to install *buntu.
  Test case:
  Create a boot/install drive with sdc.
  Open Disks app & try to format the drive to a usable storage format or try to delete either of the 2 partitions sdc created.
  What happens : operations fail, see attached screens.

  One method that works requires users to install gparted, dismiss the
  error popups (disconcerting), then figure out they need to create a
  fresh partition table.
