This might help you: askubuntu.com/questions/574328/unable-to-format-pen-drive. There seems to exist a bug also: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1442840 – Ron Jun 29 '15 at 11:03

The only solution I know of at this time is to run the wipefs command manually and then format it again in gnome-disk-utility

[root]# wipefs -a /dev/sdc1
