  • Plug into windows and format the drive back to normal

    If you still have access to the Windows computer, you can turn off Bitlocker and decrypt the drive:
    • Connect the Edge to the Windows computer
    • Click Start (Windows 8+ right-click Start)
    • Click Control Panel
    • Click System and Security (Skip this step if you are not in Category view)
    • Click BitLocker Drive Encryption
    • Click Turn Off BitLockernext to your Edge
    • Click Decrypt Drive


    You may be asked for your password during this process. If this doesn't work, you can format the drive but you will need to reinstall the maps and software using Garmin Express.
