You should be able to open an Administrator level Command prompt then use the following Diskpart commands to clean and prepare your USB stick.

diskpart
list disk   (to identify USB drive, i.e. 1)
select disk 1
clean
create partition primary
active
format fs=fat32 quick
assign
exit

Please be very careful when selecting the USB disk as if you select a wrong drive the clean command will wipe that drive!  See the screen image below for further diskpart commands you can use to confirm you are selecting the correct USB disk.
