Not able to Format Removable USB Disk Closed

Question

What does it mean when in removable USB disk(E:) properties says used space 0 bytes 0 bytes and free space 0 bytes 0 bytes and capacity 0 bytes and 0 bytes and can it still be used?
I'm I able to change the 0 bytes of free space and the 0 bytes of capacity?  If so, how?
 
Also, Microsoft Windows can't format E:
It says:  Check to see that the disk and drive are connected properly, make sure that the disk is not read-only, and then try again. For more information, search Help for read-only files and how to change them.
I check all of that everything is fine on that end.

Hello there,

Have you tried to format the USB flash through the Diskpart option in Windows? If you haven't, I suggest you to do so. The steps when you open the Command prompt in adiministrator mode are following:
Write DISKPART> press enter
DISKPART> list disk
DISKPART> select disk /you have to select the number of the usb that has been given by your PC/
DISKPART> clean
DISKPART> format fs=fat32 
DISKPART> assign letter (letter)

Hope this helps. Cheers.
