Hi Clarissa,

Unfortunately you may be facing some file corruption. I would recommenc you to run the Command Prompt and using the chkdsk L: /r command.
You need to change the L letter with the letter of your flash drive. Wait for the process to finish and try to acces the files again. I would recommend you to update your anti virus and do a complete system scan. If files are still not accessible try using some data recovery tool. I leave a link with some suggestions:

Hello,
# Download USB Fix

Launch it, a shortcut will be created on your desktop.


Choose "Clean" option.
 A pop-up will follow Connect all your external data sources to your PC (Usb keys, sd cards external drives, etc...)
 Once you're ready, click "OK".
 While cleaning, you will lose access to your desktop, but this is normal.
The numbers of analyzed and infected elements are displayed.

# Copy/paste the report here.
