UFDs can be stubborn sometimes. It's also dependent on the applications that you've used with them previously.

Try this. 👇
Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run the following commands.
Replace the "X" with the number of your UFD.

diskpart
list disk
select disk X
list disk (Do this to confirm the correct disk. There will be a star next to the selected disk)
clean
create partition primary
select partition 1
active
format fs=FAT32 quick
assign
exit
exit

How big is the USB stick?
You might have to convert the USB stick to MBR?


Minitool Partition Wizard (free), can do that...




When I make the Macrium Rescue media, I just use Minitool to delete everything on the USB stick, and then leave it as completely unallocated. Then, the media creation seems to work.
