How do I use Disk Management to take drive offline?

Right-click the disk header, then select "Offline" from the pop-up menu, but this does not apply to USB flash drives.

On my boot drive I find Shrink Volume.  On my external drive I find Delete Volume.

You should click on the disk header to open the disk menu, not on the volume.
