Hi Dhruv,
It does not happen for Ops Center, it probably happens for fsutil function on Windows, before format please try to disable the DeleteNotify function and post format you can enable it again this will reduce the format time, command is as mentioned below:
For disabling DeleteNotify
fsutil behavior set DisableNotify 1
For enabling DisableNotify function
fsutil behavior set DisableNotify 0
I hope this will reduce your formatting time, for more details you can google on this fsutil. Thanks.
