I created the flash drive as a recovery drive, but it's now marked as write-protected and won't let you format it again.

Flash drive functioned properly for a short while. I used the "Recovery Drive Creator" app in Windows to convert it into a recovery drive, but now I can't access it. When attempting to format the drive, I receive the error "Disk is write protected." I've tried all methods—diskpart, downloaded easeUS partition manager trial—but nothing works. The disk details show it's online with no read-only state, but formatting still fails.
