So a few months ago, I used a USB stick with windows to run wii games with The Homebrew channel. Everything was fine until i noticed that my usb key wouldn't add files on it anymore, even though there was still some space on it. So I tried deleting files, and it appeared like they were deleted, but when I plug my USB Key back into my pc the files are here again. And I can't do anything about it : I tried formating (didn't work), deleting every files (didn't work), changing permissions of the usb stick to write (won't let me change the permissions). I thought it was my pc but I tried on MacOS, Windows and now I'm on Ubuntu, and it still doesn't work. Does anybody know how to solve this problem ? Thanks !

    Possibly it is broken. Destroy it physically and buy a new one (preferably a good brand). – FedKad Aug 14 '23 at 08:38
  • You can analyze the problem according to this link and if you are lucky, find a solution. – sudodus Aug 14 '23 at 09:07
  • Your issue isn't related to the OS, but is a hardware issue as I see it, with flash media being a consumable that will indeed fail (but modern USB sticks hold far more than floppy drives, tape drives etc. they replaced). You've confirmed it isn't usable in three OSes, thus it reads like you're asking about a hardware device failure, replace it (some devices have SMART & other diagnostics built in, consumable flash media doesn't as it'd increase cost more than device is worth so its normally replaced) – guiverc Aug 14 '23 at 11:39
