A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Stupid question, but you have tried changing the attributes of all the files on the drive, no?

Create new folder, open command, type flashdrive letter and copy contents to folder created.

Once done, format the bugger!

Works for me!
