Expected behaviour

Actual behaviour

Hello, Can I remove the format disk choice by modifying a specific configuration setting ? It is not really needed and only shows up on some removable USB keys.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

Right click on a formatted USB key.

MATE general version

1.26.0

Package version

1.26.0-2

Linux Distribution

Debian 12

As far as I know, this is only meant to show up on USB drives and similar removable drives. We don't at this time have an option to disable it. Note that users unfamiliar with using the command line may not have another way of formatting a flash drive if gnome-disks (or something like it) isn't installed.

There are a number of gsettings options in org/mate/desktop/lockdown but this isn't one of them

It would be great if a hide-format-on-disk-context-menu lockdown gsettings option or similar can be added.
