If you are wearing gloves and have touched anything they should be considered dirty. It shouldn’t matter what color they are, either you touched something or you didn’t.

Edit: I like to use black nitrile gloves for food prep like mixing burgers or marinating where I don’t want to have to super duper scrub to make sure my hands /wrists are clean. The second I put them on they are only for touching food until I take them off

I had this happen shortly before I had an SSD failure. How old is the drive? Check the SMART health if the drive is capable.
