have you tried diskpart (run as admin)
diskpart
list disk
select disk X
replace X with the number of your disk from list disk
clean
create partition primary
From there you should be able click on the disk in explorer and it will ask to format. Format it and then try to put the image on it. I had an issue recently where I couldn’t clean disks like I used to and it turned out to be a Win10 permissions issue.
