Hello,
If you did not format your flash drive, then check whether the files are not in
hidden mode.
Click on "Start" / Run / type
Here I assume your pendrive as G:
Enter this command.
Note : Replace the letter g with your flash drive letter.

attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*

In addition to steps suggested by jack4rall you need to del the files that get listed after
sometimes you get a message " Process completed , file sharig violation" while trying to delete a file.
In that case you can install a software called "Who lock me?" (search in the google) and install the same.
You can kill the process and delete the file. Make sure to create a folder in the file name you have deleted so that the virus may not be able to creep into the drive once again.
attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*
del g:\ [file name]

Update your antivirus and scan your PC. Then download Malware's Anti-Malware from the below link

Update it ---> Perform "Full Scan"
Note : Default select option is "Quick Scan".
