Yes, you can. Not a literal format though unless you want to re-install windows.

To reset the machine to factory defaults:

  1. Open settings by touching the windows start menu button, and click the gear icon.
  2. Open the "Update & Security" Menu and and go down to "Recovery".
  3. Under "Reset this PC" tap "Get started"
  4. Select the options you want and reset.

Hope this helps!

You can also do a full format and fresh installation, make a Windows 10 boot drive and boot from it, it should allow you to fully format the drive.
