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
Click to expand...

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


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

Best Free Partition Manager for Windows | MiniTool Partition Wizard Free

As an all-in-one free partition manager and disk manager software, MiniTool Partition Wizard Free helps manage disk space safely on Windows 11/10/8/7.

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.
