help I deleted my usb drives storage space.

[ExploFI]

I was trying to unformat and the reformat my usb drive, But i think i deleted too many things now it doesn't exist anymore. Diskpart says it's 0 bytes. Can i fix it somehow.

The first picture is from "this computer" and says movable drive.

The second picture is from "device manager" and says no media.

Odd- I haven't seen this exact one before. Are you able to format the drive again by right clicking it in Explorer > "Format"? That should fix it.

If it doesn't detect media that won't do anything. 

 

Likely, your USB drive just broke after you deleted things (NAND or controller reached the end of its life) - I had that happen with an early SSD (from 2012 when they were still super unreliable) while I was transferring some files to it a few years ago

That's what i tought to do first but it didn't work. I think it's beacause it thinks it has no space on it.

i mean that would make sense since it's from like 2002. But i still think the way i did it seem like it could break any drive, because i basicly went into device manager deleted the volume and then when it didn't allow me to format it from device manager i deleted the black space(see the random photo i just googled).

Could you clarify what exactly didn't work? Does the option not show up or does it error out? Or something else entirely?

And I think you mean Disk Management not Device Manager? Yes you can delete the blank partition. That blank partition is just the NAND because it doesn't come formatted in NTFS or FAT or whatever. You can't "break the drive" from there, just delete the partition, but you can always create a new one (but your data is gone)

How do i create a new one. I didn't luckily have any data on it.

Well if the whole thing says "no media" it's screwed but if it shows that black partition, right click it, Format

well it's screwed. Thanks for the help anyways. It says no media and windows says it can't format it.

your flash drive is busted, that's why it says 0 bytes. It has nothing to do with how many times you've format and unformat.
