You can't put re-image the card with the Kobo booted through USB. The USB connection only exposed the FAT32 partition. The two ext4 Linux partitions (system and recovery) and the information stored in unpartitioned space will not be visible. You need to mount the µSD card on your computer and then write the image.

For most cases due to some of the odd partitioning on some µSD cards to allow for backup software, etc., I suggest doing full overwrite of the µSD card using the SD Card Association's SD Memory Card Formatter for Windows/Mac before writing the image. Some users have reported a better experience using a different tool to write the image such as Balena Etcher (PC & Mac) or Rufus.
