You erased it? What do you mean "deleted"?

Yes i thought it was deleted but you are right just checked with another disk and it must have been the erase button.

Hmm, you didn't notice the disk rename and warnings? Maybe you just ejected it? Did you try removing and plugging it in again?

Probably this option erased the partition. You need to format the disk with a partition with MacOS compatibility.

If I remember correct, if you reboot and start in recovery mode, tjere is a tool available capable to read raw disks and format with a MacOS partition. Or you can try with a Linux in a live USB.
