Hello, 

Check whether the files are not in hidden mode. Follow the following steps. 

 Step 1: Download the file "AutorunExterminator". Extract it --> Double-click on "AutorunExterminator" --> Plug your External  hard drive now. This will remove the autorun.inf files from your External hard drive and also from the drives. 
 Step 2: 
 Click on "Start" -->Run --> type cmd and click on OK. 
 Here I assume your External hard drive 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 External hard drive letter. Now check for your files in External Drive. 
 Step 3: After that, download the Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. * Update it --> Perform "Full Scan". Note : Default selected option is "Quick Scan". 

Good Luck.
