Hi there! Can you use your bootable USB again? The answer is, of course yes.

After you make a USB bootable disk, you can use it several times to enter the WinPE environment and repair your computer when it fails to boot. You can always have a bootable USB at home as an emergency means. 

However, if you want to restore the bootable USB to a normal state for the purpose of storing other data after the system is back to normal, this can also be done by formatting the disk.

The specific steps are as follows:

Step 1. Search diskmgmt.msc in the Windows search box and open the Disk Management app.

Step 2. Select the USB drive, and right-click it to choose the Format option.

Step 3. In the Volume label field, type a label to identify the drive.

Step 4. Choose the proper file system, and hit OK to continue the process.

By following the above steps, you will be able to format the bootable USB into a normal state and use it again for other purposes.
