Instead of file names on the flash drive, there are scribbles. Extensions are broken too. Is it possible to save a flash drive?

So I have a 16 GB Verbatim flash drive. The first time I inserted it into the USB, Windows asked me to format it. Since I didn’t have any data on it, I did just that. I copied the files I needed to it and inserted it into another computer and instead of the copied files I saw krakozyables. Re-formatting produced the same results. What could it be? And is it possible to save a flash drive?

depends on what formatted and how the files were copied,
try low-level formatting in NTFS and FAR manager

If you need confidence in the safety of data, and not in the fact of having a flash drive, then throw it away and buy a new one.
Well, or try to format it using Gparted (almost any Live Linux distribution, for example this gparted.org/livecd.php) to ext2 with _deleting the partition table_, then back to fat32 or ntfs and make it, for example, bootable with some some utilities and put on the table.

In 90% of cases, a flash drive can be repaired. Go to flashboot.ru/files/vidpid and download any convenient utility to determine the VID PID. on the flashboot.ru/iflash tab , enter the data, most likely there is such a flash drive in the database and you will be offered software for flashing the memory controller, if not, you will have to search by the series number of the controller, sometimes you have to disassemble the flash drive. Take a look at this site, they will help you there.
