Can sd cards with read only state: yes be fixed?

[Android Central Question]

I have a 128gb Samsung sd card that keeps saying write protected and I can't delete or move files with my phone. I've tried every way I can think of to remove it but it won't go. With the diskpart it says
Read only state: yes
Read only: no
What could cause this and can it be resolved?

Thanks

Welcome to Android Central. What phone do you have? Did you format the SD card for adoptable storage? Please join and provide more details so we may assist you. https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=409154&p=3754645&viewfull=1#post3754645

Welcome to Android Central! Since there's no write-protect tab on microSD cards, that suggests the card is corrupt or counterfeit. Where did you get the card from?

The phone is a Galaxy s8+ and it is a genuine samsung sd card which I purchased straight from samsung.

Cards can still become corrupt. Try unmounting the card (in Settings>Storage​), remove it, and insert it into a computer. Back up all of your files, then reformat the SD card. Now see if it works correctly.

I've tried that and it keeps saying the disk is write protected I've used diskpart and various format applications but still no luck unfortunately

It even says write-protected in the PC? I'd say the card is a lost cause, then. If you still have the packaging for the card, maybe you can contact Samsung for a replacement.
