Hi rajeevchakraborty8,

Welcome to the forum! Please, share more information about the troubleshooting steps you have performed to troubleshoot the issue. Have you tested the USB drive on different PCs or different ports on your PC? If not, you should try it. Also, you could try with the DISKPART menu in the Command prompt console in Windows, fi you work with Windows:
Please, follow these steps:
1. Open command prompt
2. Type the following:
attrib -s -h -r X:/*.* / s / d
Then hit "Enter" and wait about for some seconds
Be careful! Respect the spaces between words and script. Change the letter X with that has been assigned to the USB device on your PC (that you can see it in My Computer. It can be anything, depends on each computer.)
3. Finally, browse the flash drive and delete the recycle folder and if there is another one called "Autorun" you have to delete that too.

Please come back to tell me what happened. Cheers.
