I have windows 10 on my usb, and I need to delete it off it, it says write disk protected. Ive tried every method possible and no way of getting it off..ugh
 
Try diskpart.

Open an administrator command prompt and then run in order:
diskpart
list disk
select disk x (where x = your USB stick number listed above make sure you select the right one!
list partition - double-check you've got the right disk selected
clean

This will totally wipe the disk and let you reformat it.

Yeah tried that 3x, didnt work lol

I'm struggeling, I need to atleast reset win 10, or boot from usb again..but the bios is lame on the hp stream 12
 
Does diskpart give a permissions error too? Odd.

After you do select disk x above try doing:
attributes disk clear readonly
 
Just to cover the bases, you don't happen to have a usb stick which has a physical small slider to prevent write actions?
Saw this on an sd card recently where it had moved to write protect, and i couldn't remember seeing something like it since the old floppy disk days.
