Hello sid,
Please, make sure that you are logged as an administrator on your laptop and have no hidden files and folders activated. You can scan the external drives and your laptop with an antivirus and antimalware programs to check that you do not have any viruses in them.
Please, follow these steps:
1. Open command prompt
2. Type the following:
attrib -h -r -s /s /d X:\*.* Then hit "Enter" and wait about for some seconds
Be careful! Respect the spaces between words and script. Change the letter X with that has been assigned to the USB device on your PC (that you can see it in My Computer. It can be anything, depends on each computer.)
3. Finally, browse the flash drive and delete the recycle folder and if there is another one called "Autorun" you have to delete that too.
Hope I gave you some ideas. Have a great weekend.
