Not reading USB

Hey there, Lilman!

I'm sorry to see any USB reading issues. The unfortunate side is that once this happens, the data on the USB device is corrupted and cannot be recovered. I understand how frustrating this can be, however your purchases are still linked to your profile which
you will be able to redownload once you
format the USB device again.

Please let me know if you have any other concerns regarding this! I'm happy to help where I can.

Some USB's do make data inaccessible. Which brand are you using? There's nothing I can suggest to regain access to those files however if you format the drive on your pc before configuring it on the console it should prevent that from happening again.
