I have a 64GB USB stick

And I format(the right click mouse) it and I didn't quite remember how I did what I had done and now the stick become 32GB.

is it possible to restore it back to 64GB? or is it gone forever?

When formatting a drive, it is usually pretty easy to select the correct size of a partition. Though if the partition is already 32GB it might just be easier to extend that partition.

 

Are you in the windows "create and format hard disk partitions" tool? Can you share a screenshot?

guessing it is or was formatted as fat32, and windows doesnt like formatting fat32 as bigger than 32GB.

Hi and here's the "create and format hard disk partitions" tool? you had mentioned?
And I can see there's 25.81 unallocated spaces. What should I do?

if you cant right click => expand on the partition, back up anything you want to keep, delete the partition, and make a new one formatted as ntfs.
