Why did you reformat it?

That has nothing to do with reformatting it, it is a
separate issue that "might" have simply be coincidence to
happen after you'd formatted (else you formatted because of
the failure and that failure simply progressed).

?  You can disconnect the disk, the file has no bearing on
that.  However, considering that your drive is probably
failing, you should backup the data ASAP.  After backing up
the data, run the HDD manufacturer's diagnostics.
