USB flash drive doesn’t appear

Hi guys I'm trying to format my USB stick.

I followed guides on the internet how to format and delete all the data inside the key, also because I always got the error " udisk error quark 14" and apparently I succeeded, maybe, I don't know, because now the stick doesn't appear, you hear the sound, the PC finds it (since typing "fdisk /dev/sda1 I get this: welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.42). Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them. Be careful before using the write command.)
but, I repeat, I don't see it and I don't know how to know if it works, if it's empty, if I can add files and etc...

In short, I want if it still works, how can I review it in the files app. Thank you

Re: USB flash drive doesn’t appear

dmesg -w

Then plug the stick in. Does it show up?

Mount a partition to a directory. Read/write from/to the drive.

What part of that fails?

man dmesg
man mount
