Windows 10: Windows Creation Tool To A New SSD

Hello,

recently i built a new pc and would like to sell the old one. The question is since I migrated Windows 10 from the old SSD to a new one, does the tool delete all the files on the previous SSD? I would like to sell the SSD as well, but don't want to sell my old data with it.

USB broke down after attempt to download Windows Creation Tool

I tried to download the Microsoft Media Creation Tool on my new USD drive in order to set Windows 10 on a new SSD. But the process canceled when I got 100% with an error message. I tried to repeat the process but failed. Now
the system cannot see this USB and it looks like this Medial Creation Tool broke it down.

I did some troubleshooting steps trying to format the USB using several formatting tools and windows tools but nothing works. Can I recover this USB drive?
