Warning: the next action will format all the data on your device.

Whatever the reasons mentioned above, the end result is that we can no longer use this device.

So here is a way to restore the USB device or SD card to the factory state.

Most of the time, a simple formatting through a file browser can solve the problem, but in some extreme cases, such as when the file manager doesn't work and you need your device to continue to work, you can use the following instructions:

We will use a gadget called mkusb to achieve our goal, which is very easy to install.

Add mkusb's warehouse:

Sudo apt add repository ppa:mkusb/ppa

Now update your package list:

Sudo apt-get update

Install `mkusb:

Sudo apt-get install mkusb

Now run mkusb and you will see this prompt, click 'Yes'.

Run mkusb dus

Now mkusb will ask you once if you want to continue formatting your data, 'Stop' is selected by default, you now select' Go' 'and click' OK'.
