wipefs is a useful tool to show us what filesystems exist on the drive.
root@mint:/home/mint# wipefs /dev/sdb
DEVICE OFFSET TYPE UUID LABEL
sdb 0x52 vfat 53E2-5BC6
sdb 0x0 vfat 53E2-5BC6
sdb 0x1fe vfat 53E2-5BC6
Let's wipe out all filesystems to fix the error
Make sure you have backed up any data.
Change sdX below with the actual drive you want to do this to.
wipefs --all /dev/sdX
