Asked By TechyTurtle89 On

I have a USB drive that's become corrupted, and I'm unable to delete the files on it. I've noticed that one specific folder seems to contain all the files and folders indefinitely. Is there a way for me to delete these corrupted files, or am I stuck with them?

Yeah, formatting is definitely the best way to go. If it doesn't work, you might want to use disk management tools available in your computer’s settings. Sometimes those can handle stubborn corrupted files better than the regular format option.

Have you tried formatting the USB drive? It usually helps wipe everything off, including the corrupted files. If you right-click on the drive in 'This PC', you should see an option to format it. Just make sure to back up any important data first, because formatting will erase everything!
