i have a USB stick that i cant seem to put right again

this is how it looks in the disk management software

any ideas ?

Thanks
I'll have a look later

There's no data on them at all / don't need anything off it

As for why I can't delete them, it's all greyed out , can't select anything, the only thing I can do is delete the partition and create another, but I can't merge them so it's still in 3 parts
