I booted from my USB but in storage capacity it still shows memory as 4gb that was from my previous partition.I want to have all the 90gbs and as my storage and the remaining can be used as a place for OS.What should be my approach for this. Thanks in advance.

Bootable USB with storage
For comparison between Full install and Persistent install see: How do I make my live ubuntu on a USB stick persistant?
A standard Live install using Etcher, Startup Disk Creator, dd or Disks, uses the full disk for for the ISO9660 install. Starting with 19.10 a ghost persistent partition named "writable" was added. This partition can be converted to NTFS or FAT32 to make the unusable space on the disk usable for data: Add NTFS Data Partition to Startup Disk Creator USB Install
A quick and simple way to create a Full install can be found here: How should I make my partitions for a Full Install USB?. Note that space requirements for the OS are about 15GB, the remainder of the disk can be used for data.
Mkusb will make a bootable USB with adjustable Persistent and NTFS Data partitions, the data partition can be changed to FAT32 if the user likes: Creating a bootable USB with saved configurations
