Several specialized utilities are available for performing this task on Windows and Linux:

EaseUS Partition Master is a comprehensive disk management suite that includes a secure data wiping feature capable of performing low‑level formatting on USB drives, HDDs, and SSDs.

The free version includes basic wiping functions. Forces the drive firmware to remap or isolate

For 99% of USB problems, the standard Disk Management tool or a quick diskpart clean is enough. But for that remaining 1%—the drives that refuse to die but refuse to work—a low-level format is the digital scalpel that can bring them back from the brink.
