    I actually did this once. My USB was on /dev/sda instead of sdb and I didn’t bother to check. It took me like 2 days to fix it because you can’t just delete partitions and start over normally, it changes some flags on your drive that you need to manually reset for them to be usable again. Fun times.

      I once mistyped and didn’t realize until it was done that I wrote a Fedora ISO to the home partition. I didn’t even realize what I did until everything was done and wiped out.
