This is a guess but I bet your problem is you cannot access the data on the drive now in the USB..You don't have permission. If so what you need to do is take owner ship of the folders and subfolders.

Take a look at this Microsoft tech tip on how to take ownership of files and folders.

Yes or you could just delete all of the contents of the drive with a Linux utility called gparted.
