Hello, is it possible for me to make my flash drive usable again? I am not that interested in the recovery part.

I am using a macbook air, and disk utility does not allow me to partition my flash drive.

diskutil does not work either, I either get the message "/dev/disk2: Permission denied" or "Error: -69877: Couldn't open device".

This is what diskutil info returns:

Is there any way to make this flash drive usable again?
