Usually when this happens, is when the USB flash drive broke.

 

But you can try the usual stuff like trying in a different USB port, restart your system, try on a different system.

So what do I do? This happened to 2 of my 3 USBs.

 

my other usb doesn't have enough storage space for what I need.

You can try this:

http://www.groovypost.com/howto/fix-unable-to-complete-format-flash-drive-windows/

 

You can try using HP tool:

http://filehippo.com/download_hp_usb_disk_storage_format_tool/

 

Now it must be noted that the above solutions is only if the flash drive got corrupted, because, say, you didn't safely remove the device, and just pull it, and not actually broken.
