Error formatting volume: No such file or directory

I was being unable to access my USB drive. After following the instructions listed here, I found this response:
$ sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1
mkfs.fat 3.0.28 (2015-05-16)
/dev/sdb1: No such file or directory
When I tried to follow the instructions listed here, I found the unmount option (and all other options in the menu) in the Disks GUI utility to be disabled. So I tried to create a partition using the utility and encountered this error:
Error formatting volume
Error wiping device: Command-line 'wipefs -a "/dev/sdb1"' exited with non- zero exit status 1: wipefs: error: /dev/sdb1: probing initialization failed: No such file or directory (udisks-error-quark, 0)
I would appreciate suggestions for a way forward from here.

The instructions you linked don't mentionwipefs, but anyway, do you have a /dev/sdb1 device?lsblkshould show your partitions. Or maybe you just needed to addsudo?

@Xen2050, Sorry I forgot to include one of the posts I tried and mistakenly mentioned its response as the response to another post. I have corrected it now. Would you be so kind to go through it once again?

I have finally solved it with help of GParted. All I had to do was reformatting. Following is what I did:
- Install GParted:
sudo apt install gparted
- Right click on the disk (which was listed with a red exclamation!)
- Select
Format to - Select
ext4 - Click on the
Apply All Operationsbutton
That solved it!
