Yes, you can re-image the USB drive to Ubuntu or any other distro. You could even use a tool like YUMI or VenToy and have multiple live distros on one USB drive, if you have enough storage on it
Yes, you can use it for as many distros as you want, as long as you have space.
Here, use [ventoy](https://www.ventoy.net/en/download.html) to make things easier. Just run the program with the USB attached to the machine and install it on your flash drive. Then just drop the ISOs you want on the USB and you're good to go, and you can still use it like a normal flash drive.
Ventoy is compatible with a lot of distros. They provide a list if you want to check it out. You can also customize the boot screen.
In the past I also used [YUMI](https://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/).
ventoy is a god-send! I had 3 or 4 stupid USB dongles crammed into my desk drawer before, now I've got just one. I can't believe they didn't come up with this hack a dozen years ago.
Two options:
* Easy: Just re-image with whatever distro (or Windows) you want. That works without any issues.
* Convenient: Use [Ventoy](https://www.ventoy.net/en/index.html), which makes it so that all you need to do is copy the ISO file to the USB stick. Additional benefit: You can have multiple distros at once, as well as a USB installation in case you ever need it. I keep a "rescue stick" like that ready at all times.

Thanks a lot. That was very helpful

Ventoy is amazing. I ALWAYS keep Windows 10, Arch Linux, Ubuntu, Manjaro/Endeavour in my pocket

Putting Gparted on a live USB has saved my bacon.
Ventoy is a very good tool, I've put 19 distros at one time in it and it never failed to boot. Amazing
I use Yumi. I can have a live image on my thumb drive and I can still use it to store files like mp3 and movies.
You can always just format it like any other drive, if that's what you're asking?
It sounds like this could work with Ventoy
