Please post the result of the command:

TxLonghorn

Thank you for responding....I don't understand this code: lsblk -f

paulofeastman

Open the terminal and copy and paste that command for TxLonghorn and post the output.

Was your flash drive plugged in to your PC/laptop when you ran that command?

If not, can you plug it in, wait a few seconds, and do it again?

Please also let us know what distro and flavour of Linux you are using.

Ah yes, it's in the title. Sorry. :-)

So, the system is recognising your flash drive.

Can you see the flash drive in your file manager or on your desktop?

I can see it in file manager

Here is the problem from there I cannot delete any folders and them sometimes there is a lock on the folders. Cannot copy and paste on this flash drive...all my other flash drives I do not have this problem.
