How to convert a flash drive from HFS + back to FAT32 or NTFS?

Installed on a Mac Os X Yosemite flash drive using a virtual machine and the Unibeast bootloader. An error occurred and the virtual machine stopped reading the flash drive. But Windows sees, and when inserting a USB flash drive into USB, it asks to immediately format the media, and I do so after 10 minutes, an error is generated stating that Windows cannot format the USB flash drive. Next, I tried to delete the partition through Administrative Tools -> Disk Management, it also didn’t work, the partition is write-protected. Tried via CMD -diskpart and still the same error. Acronis Disk cannot read any disk at all when the flash drive is in the computer. R-Drive shows that the flash drive is in HFS + format, what should I do?
Here are some screenshots:

Boot into Orthodox Linux and try to fix it in GParted.
A virtual machine with a forwarded USB and Ubuntu Live (which starts with the ISO image) should be enough.

In Windows, run the command line on behalf of the administrator!
and then
diskpart
DISKPART> list disk
Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
