I can’t format it on windows?

Of course you can format the usb on Windows unless you’re not able to

It won’t let me. It says its write protected. Idk what that means.

I think it needs a low level format tool for windows.

Go the part Restore USB drives using diskpart in Windows

And also try the tool below that

I tried doing it through Linux but it didn’t work. It’s to frustrating.
