Do you mean that you want to recover the files that were on it before? Or you just want it to be usable as a USB storage device again?

You can simply format it to a file system that you want. ext4 if you want to use it for Linux-only. exfat for cross-platform

its write protected
Like with a physical switch?
Cuz otherwise, it absolutely can be repartitioned and reformatted
sudo fdisk -l /dev/<disk> ?
<disk> being the sda, sdb, sdc, etc device name
And what have you done/what command did you run that indicates write protection?

I asked for the output of a specific command, and asked what other commands you had used to determine write protection. Are you still in Windows?
