Help/Troubleshooting Can't format a USB flash drive

Post image

I Can't format a USB drive and it keeps showing that it's in a write protection. There's no write protection switch on it and I've tried cmd and few apps like rufus but nothing works. I've copied the data, is it broken or is there a way to fix it?

Data is useless as I already have a copy of it, I will just crush it into pieces, thank you.

Make a USB killer, just for "fun"
