I deleted all the namespaces (2 were present) on a samsung drive (SSD). Now the drive is not being recognized by the system. How do I recover the SSD?

2I have never heard of namespaces on storage devices. Do you mean partitions? – wurtel Jan 24 '19 at 08:17

@wurtel: Yes, they are basically partitions – Kailash Mallikarjun Jan 24 '19 at 17:51

1@wurtel Namespaces are a special feature of NVMe drives. Each namespace is treated essentially as a separate drive by Linux, and can have its own partition table and everything. – Miles B Huff May 04 '21 at 05:09

You should still be able to see nvme0 in /dev -- only the -nX entries should be gone. Try sudo nvme create-ns -s 100000 -b 4096 /dev/nvme0, then sudo nvme attach -n 1 /dev/nvme0, and see if that gets things working again.
