I was following a tutorial on installing TensorFlow on an NVidia GPU Board, when it asked me to make a swap file on a flash drive, in order to make sure that I have enough space when I proceed on the installation.
I ran the following commands:
$ sudo mkswap /dev/sda1
$ sudo swapon /dev/sda1
And I used a 64GB Flash Drive, but there were a little over 2GB Worth of Files in there as I executed the commands.
Is there a way to undo the mkswap command and make sure that I manage to get the "trapped" files before I do a full format?

Stop using that flash drive and proceed with data recovey tools to recover your files: See e.g. askubuntu.com/questions/286181/… and askubuntu.com/questions/94421/…

Any files that were in that partition has been overwritten with swap data. There is no undoing that. Any other partitions will still be intact.

The swap partition will by now way be overwritten in total. If it was not used there may not be a single bit damaged. Most data will still be recoverable.
