If you did not format your flash drive, then check whether the files are not in hidden mode. Follow the following steps.
Step 1:
- Click on the below link and download the file AutorunExterminator.
- Extract it --> Double-click on AutorunExterminator --> Plug your pendrive now.
- This will remove the autorun.inf files from your pendrive and also from drives.
Step 2:
- Click on Start -->Run --> type cmd and click on OK.
- Here I assume, your pendrive as G:
- Enter this command:
attrib -h -r -s /s /d g:\*.*
- You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and paste it.
Note: Replace the letter g with your flash drive letter.
- Now check for your files in Pen Drive.
Step 3:
- After that, download the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
- Update it --> Perform Full Scan
Note: Default selected option is "Quick Scan".
Good Luck!

I had the same problem, the pen drive was not displaying the folders but these folders were there. I solved it by going into the Tools>>>Folder Options>>>View and checked the option "Hide protected Operating System Files" and the folders came back. I guess some virus attack made these folders as the system folder and these got hidden.
