This is my USB in my PC. And it doesn't show the option to eject the Flash Drive

The only solution I've found until now is to eject the USB from the context menu on "my computer"

Why does this happens and how can I solve it?


It is currently not an issue if you just remove the drive without ejecting. As long as the drive is not in use and you remove it, it will be fine. However, if you are transferring files to or from the drive do not disconnect. Promise if you follow those rules you will be golden.

However, if you are one of those people who is transferring really sensitive data that you cannot afford to lose you will want to make sure you are safely removing it.

I would recommend that you close out all explorer tasks and make sure that no app is running. This is a sure way to know nothing is being transferred.

I also found this article on the web for you to read if you want more information.
