How to remove a non-existent disk and format a flash drive?

Question

USB

Removable disk E: is indicated in the explorer, despite the fact that nothing is connected to the laptop. It does not open, is not formatted, an error occurs when extracting. Checks through chkdsk do not pass, the volume cannot be opened. It doesn't show up in disk management. When I insert a USB into the port, a new disk appears in disk management, but I can’t format it (RAW format), the letter is not assigned, because. the specified file cannot be found. How to restore the file system of a flash drive and generally bring it to working condition?

Answer 1

perhaps drive E is a card reader,
try formatting the drive with third-party utilities. for example gparted or paragon
Perhaps there is some kind of buggy partition, well, or the flash drive is dead)
