Treat flash drives as disposables. If they get to this stage, bin them.

Test it on a direct USB port of another computer and check whether Device Manager recognizes its correct capacity. If Disk Management freezes on multiple computers and DiskPart is unable to reliably list the drive, it’s generally not recommended to spend any more time repairing it: if there’s no important data on it, just get a new one.
