I did force fsck but it did not seem to do anything or it is so quick
that I did not see anything.

I put the disk in a USB3 box and bought a new one. I know that SSD
disks loose memory with time. I wonder how this works and I thought
that maybe if I reformat the disk, I will be able to use it again.
I don't recall if you mentioned the model of SSD you have. I wonder if it has SMART
capability.
What is the output of
sudo smartctl --all /dev/sdX
where X is the device identifier.
