Unable to format my USB Stick (udisks-error-quark, 0)
I wanted to format my Kingston DataTraveler 100 G3, which I used to install Linux Mint.
I opened Disks, clicked on three vertical dots, and then Format Disk...
The operation failed. Now, there are two huge chunks of unformatted space and a small 1.3GB partition I can't delete.
Every attempt to format the entire disk, create or delete a partition, ends with an error that includes (udisks-error-quark, 0).

I found a similar issue here:
https://github.com/pop-os/pop/issues/460
I performed the same steps as u/mmstick, but that didn't solve the issue.

Is there a (simple) way to fix this?
