Grrrr my son in law has made my 16gb usb flash drive read only from his iPhone I now can't delete or add or format the darn flash drive and he doesn't know how he did it do that's a 16gb flash drive down the swanny.

Grrrrrr

If you use a pc you can quickly format it to make it work again.

There's not a way to fully lock a usb drive. Guessing the drive is just setup in a way that android doesn't understand how to write to it anymore

I tried that says read only protection I've also done disk part attributes and I can't add or delete anything on it I should make him buy a new one grrr

Is there a small switch located on the flash drive? Sometimes this can be accidently knocked to the lock position. Also, there are some Third party apps you could use that will blitz the thing. I had a similar issue myself with a second hand drive i was given. I used Ease US and it worked for me

No unfortunately I've tried everything 😕

Oh thanks i try that is it free to use or a fee plz

It has paid features, but if it's just a 16gb drive then it will be free. If it asks for any personal information like an email just use a temporary email. 👍

I did the ease us it says it can't remove the write protection as it has an error so basically my son in law is a pain in the ***** I only had that now can't use my mem stick grrr
