Default usb flash drive insists on being read-only

I have a 2GB usb flash drive which contains some old Debian files that I want to delete.

I've tried mounting it with "-o rw" and also tried "mount -u -o rw" when it's mounted but it remains obstinately read-only. Is there any way to fix this or should I ditch the drive?
