But first I have to return the drive to its full capacity of 32GB...
Any of the tools for partitioning (fdisk, gdisk, parted, gparted, etc.) should work. All that is needed is to remove the existing partition which fakes the USB to think it is exactly the size of the iso image written to it, then create a new partition and format it as fat32 and you should have the original 32G available.

Rufus did the job of returning it to it's former state of 32GB. i.e. I'm "back in business."

Thanks Everyone.
