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 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 pen drive letter 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 : Don't forget to replace the letter g with your pen drive letter.
Now press "Enter".
Now check for your files in Pen 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.

Hello,
# Download UsbFix on your computer, and launch it.
# It will start automatically, and a shortcut will be created on your desktop.
# Connect all your external data sources to your PC (Usb keys, external drives, etc...) Do not open them.
# Choose " Deletion " option.
#The computer will re-start, and it may be longer than usually.
# UsbFix will display a message at re-start.
# Click "OK" to start cleaning.
# Copy/paste the report here.
