Good evening guys

Please help ❗❕❕❗

Was copying files from laptop to a flash drive and the laptop shut down in the process because of low battery and now I've charged the laptop. The problem now is that the flash drive that was connected to the laptop before the battery went flat is now showing WRITE PROTECTED, i can't do anything with the flash drive, can't copy/move anything to or from it, can't delete anything and the worst part is that it's not formatting, it just keeps showing WRITE PROTECTED. I've searched the whole google and tried all the methods I've seen but all to no avail. I've also tried to connect it via OTG to my Android phone to try deleting or formatting but it keeps failing.please help❗❕❗?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your response, I've tried it but still the same bro. I'm getting "The operation did not complete because the media is write-protected."

after using the registry editor method, did you restart your PC before attempting to format the drive?
you can also try formatting the drive using SW's like EaseUS partition
