Hello ajvj,

Do you have any valuable files stored on the pen drive? If not, then you could erase the drive by entering the Disk management menu in the Computer management options. Be careful which drive you select because you could erase the wrong one. You may also use a data recovery program to do the job.
If you are familiar with the Command prompt, please follow these steps:
1. Open command prompt
2. Type the following:
attrib -s -h -r X:/*.* / s / d
Then hit "Enter" and wait about for some seconds
Be careful! Respect the spaces between words and script. Change the letter X with that has been assigned to the USB device on your PC (that you can see it in My Computer. It can be anything, depends on each computer.)
3. Finally, browse the flash drive and delete any recycle folders or so called “autorun” files.

Good luck
