Format storage device?
Yesterday, I tried to copy some pictures from my laptop to my USB stick. For some reason, my laptop kept crashing, so I finally gave up. Today, I wanted to try again, but I keep getting the error message that I need to format my drive. I have a lot of files and pictures saved on my USB stick, will they all be deleted? What should I do? Thanks in advance.
If you care about the images on the stick, try to restore them:

In any case, then format, and not “format quickly” but thoroughly. Why the stick behaves so — hard to say. If it stays hanging when formatting thoroughly, the stick will be “hin”.
Thanks have already tried to recover with recuva but there is “unable to determine file system type”
There are even better tools, options, but how important are the photos? Nevertheless, there is the saying “no backup, no pity”… So if everything is important to you in the future not only to save a USB stick, but always to copy and store regularly on another medium, best an external drive.
All data that are on the LW will be deleted
But why? Did he break?
No, apparently false sponsorship format or what that means
Fat, fat32, NFTS,
I don’t know what you can do about it.
It’s nothing.
