"New Simple Volume" does nothing- can't turn unallocated space into a volume

itchkowb

Hi all, I hope everyone is well and staying safe,

 

This drive (F:) was a windows 10 installer made with the Microsoft software. I formatted it and was left with 2 volumes, 29GB unallocated and 25GB of the windows installer (or something like that, I don't remember). I deleted the 25GB volume with the intention of combining the two unallocated and creating 1 volume. I am now left with all this unallocated space and the "New Simple Volume" button that I planned on pressing does nothing (neither does "properties"). If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know because this was my favorite USB drive (It's got USB-C on 1 end and USB-A on the other).

 

Thank you and stay safe,
