SD card formatted as raw won't reformat to anything

[Suspensa]

I have an 64gb sdxc sd card ive had sitting in a laptop for a while and need to try using it. It hasn't worked for as long as I can remember and I don't know how it got messed up. I've tried reformatting it using explorer and all it does is make me wait an hour for it to say windows could not complete the format. I've tried using disk management to format and that doesn't have any effect either. After an attempt to format and it failing it would then disappear from the file viewer and it still shows up in disk management but with no volume. It reappears after restarting the computer. Recovering whatever data is on it isn't important I just need to be able to use it at capacity. Currently it is a raw file system and I need it converted to some usable system. Googling it only leads to websites "how-to"s that are just saying buy our  expensive software or other forums with similar responses.

Are you sure you haven't accidentally slid the write-protection tab on the side of the card on? That would cause writes, including formatting, to fail. If not, one thing you could try is download Ubuntu, make a bootable USB-stick out of it with e.g. Rufus, boot it and then use GParted to format the card.

I think there’s a site for the SD Formatter. It works good for these issues.

Definitely wasn't write protection tried it both ways to be sure it wasn't write protected. Im downloading ubuntu right now to try that hopefully I can figure that out.

If you want format it and be absolutely certain it works, you can use diskpart in windows to do it. But user beware, if you choose the wrong disk in the command line, you will end up erasing one of the drives in your system:

Based on the guide you linked I can't clean the disk due to a cyclic redundancy error and trying to fix that requires using chkdsk which i cant because I need to format the drive which I cant't and we're back here.

Formatting through diskpart after taking an hour has left me with a "the parameter is incorrect" error. Going to keep searching based on this unless anyone knows any particular reason why a memory device would be this averse to fixing,
