Hi Ramzy. To format a usb flash disk use the GParted application. You can find it at location menu > system > partition drives. This YouTube video explains it well. You can ignore/skip the first part of the video that explains how to install GParted.

The link below has options to format via Gparted, Disks and Terminal...
Make certain when entering the commands you're choosing the sdX# assigned to the USB..

I found a simple USB formatter application during my little flirtation with LXLE.  It's actually one of Linux Mint's cool tools that lets me format a USB stick in two clicks.  I added it to Linux Lite by downloading the .deb package here and opening it with Gdebi.  The other suggestions are good ones, of course!  But I'm just a simple boy who like simple things... and this little gem is perfect.

mintstick is a nice little tool. Not only it does USB stick formatting but also image writing. I use it myself in multiple machines because of its immense simplicity.

Sorry for seeming stupid and preferring Linux - I just don't know any better.
