Hello,
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"
https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/5911-autorun-exterminator/
Extract it --> Double-click on "AutorunExterminator" --> Plug your flash drive now.
This will remove the autorun.inf files from your flash drive and also from drives.
Step 2:
Click on "Start" -->Run --> type cmd and click on OK.
Here I assume your flash drive letter as G:
Enter this command.
You can copy the above command --> Right-click in the Command Prompt and
paste it.
Note : Don't forget to replace the letter g with your flash drive letter.
Now press "Enter".
Now check for your files in Flash Drive.
Step 3:
After that, download the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from the below link
https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/4621-malwarebytes-anti-malware/
Update it --> Perform "Full Scan"
Note : Default selected option is "Quick Scan".
Good Luck.

Try this 1
1)Copy the text starting from "REGEDIT4" upto @="@SYS:DoesNotExist" -->
Open a "Notepad" --> Paste it --> Save the file as fix.reg
Note: Don't forget the extension "reg"
Now double-click on fix.reg --> Click on OK.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf]
@="@SYS:DoesNotExist"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note : After following the above instructions, whenever you place any autoplay CD\DVD all you have to do is go to "My Computer" --> Open the CD\DVD drive --> You have to double-click on the setup file.
2) Disable the "Autoplay" feature also.
Click on Start --> Run --> type gpedit.msc and click on OK.
Double-click on "Computer Configuration" --> Administrative Templates --->
System. Double-click on "Turn autoplay off" option and select the option
"Enabled" --> Click on OK. Close that window. Now logoff and logon into your account.
Now backup all the data from your flash drive and format it
Good Luck
