I got the solution..
as it is said in howtogeek, we can install gparted and select the device that needed to be recoverd and format it again as ntfs or ext3/ext4. The link provided above gives explanation regarding how to format a usb drive in ubuntu using gparted.
Hope this answer would be helpful to the community.

1No your link is fine, but your answer is really just follow & read the link. If you read the how-to-answer it tells you "Links to external resources are encouraged, but please add context around the link so your fellow users will have some idea what it is and why it’s there. Always quote the most relevant part of an important link, in case the target site is unreachable or goes permanently offline."– guivercAug 7, 2018 at 9:09

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mkusb/ppa # and press Enter
