Hello Freddy,

"abandoned" is not definitive, it's mostly an indication, it tells users
that it's unlikely that the probe will be back. It is reversible, if the
probe comes back online then its status will be "connected" again.

The probes can re-initialise USB sticks if needed, for example if they
find that a new USB stick is plugged in. This also means that the
contents of that USB will be wiped.

Regards,
Robert
