Hey there, Jot___.
Unfortunately if the USB flash drive has no write protection switch on it and neither of those methods has worked for you, there's not much else you can do.
You're left with trying out the same stuff with a different computer, to see if you the same thing happens. Other than that, you could download the USB flash drive manufacturer's format tool (usually USB pen drive and memory card manufacturers have utility tools with which you can manage the devices) and try to format the pen drive with it, to see if that fixes things up.
If neither of those options works for you, I'd suggest that you contact the reseller you got the flash drive from and try to RMA it, if it's still under warranty.
Hope that helps. Please let...
