Question I think my USB stick is corrupted, 0 bytes and can't format

[h4mza92]

Hi, I think my 32GB USB stick is corrupted as it is showing 0 bytes and I cannot view files until I format it but it also won't format. I have tried all the possible options FAT32, NTFS and can't remember what the other one was ex FAT I think? I also tried quick format and non quick format and I still get an error that it can't format.

I have watched a few videos on YT and I've tried to format through disk management and I still get same error that it can't be formatted. I have also tried doing this via command prompt but I cannot check disk the USB drive as I get this error message even though I run as admin.

access denied as you do not have sufficient privileges you have to invoke this utility

I have also download a third party software easeus partition master to wipe data which it says successful but I still cannot open the USB files?

I'm lost for solutions now, would anyone know how to exactly fix this problem or is the USB no good anymore?

Not worth the hassle of struggling with it considering what a new one costs.

Just bin it and replace with new one.

Tip: buy a well-known brand eg Sandisk, Kingston etc, and don't use it for long-term storage or for backups.
