Unallocated space in empty flash drive

Hello, I am trying to recover unallocated space in my flash drive. I'm not quite sure how it got to this point. I have tried the following commands: resize2fs sudo resize2fs /dev/sdc1 resize2fs 1.42.13 (17-May-2015) The filesystem is already 1011875 (4k) blocks long. Nothing to do! badblock sudo resize2fs /dev/sdc1 resize2fs 1.42.13 (17-May-2015) The filesystem is already 1011875 (4k) blocks long. Nothing to do! When I use Check in gparted, nothing happens. How can I recover the space on my flashdrive? Sorry for the poor formatting, still learning...
