    Hello James, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You might see if you may be able to use the tutorial below to run the Clean command on your USB flash drive. This will hopefully wipe the USB clean and leave it as unallocated space to then hopefully be able to format it afterwards. :)

    Disk - Clean and Clean All with Diskpart Command

    Hope this helps,

While using BitLocker Drive Encryption feature, i selected the settings for using the USB to store the security key. But, once I restarted my PC, BitLocker didn't recognized the USB and went into recovery mode. Can anyone suggest as to why the USB key was not taken into consideration?
