Look for the wee white up arrow to the left of the system tray (those icons on the right of the task bar). "Show hidden icons" displays when you hover over it. Click that to open a small window with other running software. Look for the green icon with a tiny USB plug. Cliick that to open a menu and select the device or media you want to remove.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I generally go to Windows Explorer (shortcut windows key & "E"). Right click on the device I want to remove and select "eject" from the option list that drops down. This should prompt a small window to open telling you it is safe to remove the device.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Right click on the drive in the File Explorer. There will be an Eject title in the drop down menu. Click Eject, it is now safe to disconnect the external device.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.While it is "bad practice," I typically just unplug the USB Thumb Drive as I haven't yet experienced any bad consequences. The "proper" process is to eject the drive. To eject the drive, find the USB plug-looking icon in the icons next to the date and time on the task bar (the name of this group of icons escapes me). If you don't see the icon, click the upward-facing caret (triangle pointed up) and find it in the list. Right-click on the icon, find the name of the device you want to remove in the list and select the option to eject it. The image I am attaching should help.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Use the Safely Remove Hardware and Eject Media function. It is typically on the bottom right task bar. You may have to click the arrow in the bottom right of the screen to find it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You need to right-click the icon in the taskbar. Choose your device and click stop/eject and wait for it to tell you it is safe to remove your device.
