Am running updated Windows 10. I use a USB to move pictures from scanner to the computer so I can upload them to eBay where they appear on my auctions after I add them when listing the auction on eBay. Now that they are connected to the auctions, can I remove the USB from the computer without the pictures? Asked an eBay person but she didn't know. Thank you so much for your help.

  • This question isn't on topic here at Superuser. You uploaded the pictures to Ebay. Ebay does not use your local files after you upload them.

    When you upload a picture, you're uploading a copy. The original remains on the drive.

  • This question reminds me of a joke about uploading back to the Internet files you have downloaded.

You can remove a USB drive from a computer at any time. If you've made any changes to the contents of the flash drive you should eject it first.

For more details on why it's unsafe to unplug before ejecting see here.

To eject your drive:

  • Open up file explorer
  • On the left hand side look for your flash drive
  • Right-click the flash drive
  • Click "Eject"
