The solution for this problem is simple, you just have to clean the dust with a soft brush, or a clean cloth, and your brake caliper pistons might go back in. However, you may have to apply a little pressure using a suitable clamp, or else they may not push back in because of
insufficient pressure
.

What causes brake calipers to stick?
The common cause for a brake caliper sticking is with
the caliper piston and the brake hose
. The piston has a rubber boot on it which lubricates and protects it. But if this rubber is torn, it will cause debris and rust to form inside the caliper which means the piston’s sliding abilities will diminish.
What happens when a caliper locked up?
If you have a stuck caliper,
the brake pad will not completely disengage from the surface of the brake rotor
. This means you will be driving with the brakes applied slightly all of the time. Driving with a stuck caliper can create stress on the transmission, causing it to fail earlier.
