USB says no media after reformatting

My 32gb PNY USB drive \*was\* formatted as a windows boot drive, and gave me an error saying it needed to be repaired & reformatted. I don't care about the data ofc. I reformatted it to be FAT32, and gave it the same name as before "E:". After the reformat was complete, I opened the drive and placed a simple text file to check that it worked. I then properly ejected the usb, and re-plugged it in just to double check. The second time however, it wasn't recognized like normal in file explorer.

Recognized: It shows in diskmanagement as Removeable (E:) No Media. It appears in Device manager as "USB Mass Storage Device" and it appears under 'Devices & Printers' as "2269 PRAM"

Troubleshoots: I have uninstalled drivers, reset and checked. "Change drive letters and paths" and "Eject" under device manager are greyed out. Using CMD & trying to run "CHKDSK E:" returns "Cannot open volume for direct access" Disk Management Properties calls it 2270 PRAM, and says it's working properly, although I don't see how that's true. I've tried several different usb ports aswell, but that shouldn't be the issue since I was able to reformat it in the first place.

I don't understand the problem here, or how to resolve it. Any information you may need, lmk.

Edit: trying to rune "Clean" in diskpart, returns the message "Virtual Disk Service Error: There is no media in the device"
