Unallocated space in empty flash drive
Hello, I am trying to recover unallocated space in my flash drive. I'm not quite sure how it got to this point. I have tried the following commands:
resize2fs
sudo resize2fs /dev/sdc1
resize2fs 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
The filesystem is already 1011875 (4k) blocks long. Nothing to do!
badblock
sudo resize2fs /dev/sdc1
resize2fs 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
The filesystem is already 1011875 (4k) blocks long. Nothing to do!
When I use Check in gparted, nothing happens.
How can I recover the space on my flashdrive? Sorry for the poor formatting, still learning...

Before resizing your filesystem, you need to extend your partition.
One way to do that would be with fdisk. Say I have a 20G disk, with a 5G partition like this:
fdisk /dev/sda
> p
Disk /dev/sda: 20 GiB, 21474836480 bytes, 41943040 sectors
...
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 2048 40957 43005 5G 83 Linux
First, I'll delete my partition, then create one starting at the same sector, finishing at the end of my disk, using the same partition type.
Command (m for help): d
Selected partition 1
Partition 1 has been deleted.
Command (m for help): n
Partition type
p primary (0 primary, 0 extended, 4 free)
e extended (container for logical partitions)
Select (default p): p
Partition number (1-4, default 1):
First sector (2048-41943039, default 2048):
Last sector, +sectors or +size{K,M,G,T,P} (2048-41943039, default 41943039):
Created a new partition 1 of type 'Linux' and of size 20 GiB.
Command (m for help): p
...
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sda1 2048 41943039 41940992 20G 83 Linux
If you're sure the partition starts at the same offset, then you may write your changes:
Command (m for help): w
Your OS may not be able to reload the partition table, at which point you could have to reboot. Or, with a removable media, just unplug/plug back in.
Then, you'll be able to use resize2fs.

Are you sure you opened the right device (/dev/sdc)? Listing partitions (withp) should confirm something exists. Does it?
