Hi Jibon,
Is this local disk your Windows drive? If it is, you will not be able to format it while you are using the OS. You need to boot from a Windows installation drive and select format when you are asked to select installation destination. Another option is simply to reinstall Windows. This way you will replace the current OS with a new one but without changing drive format and capacity.
If this drive is not your system drive, open Disk Management and try to change its drive letter. Assign any that is not in use. Try to format it again, right clicking on the drive.
Hope this helps

Format via Disk Management
Step 1
Open Disk Management. Right click on My Computer and select item "Manage", and then click Disk Management on the left side. In the center section you can see local hard drive and partitions and the USB drive which can be recognized by capacity.
Step 2
Right click the flash drive and select "Format" option and select file system format to perform quick format. However, this action is not workable in some cases, and you need to try step 3.
Step 3
Right click on the USB drive and select "New Simple Volume" item. You'll get the New Simple Volume Wizard which guides you recreate new partition for the flash drive. Operations are following the onscreen instructions, setting options and click "Next" button. When the process is done, you'll find the USB drive has been formatted and is properly recognized by system.
