Fix 'Problem ejecting removable Device' Using an Advanced Utility
Sometimes, you may found difficulties while safely removing the removable media as it forcibly stops you by saying 'problem removing mass storage device'. Moreover, the error also dictates that there might be some other programs or system utilities that are using the removable media and you need to close it before removing the media. Though, you couldn't able to locate any open program that is using the media, as you have already closed all the open programs and utilities. Isn't it so ridiculous that even after doing every attempt, you couldn't able to safely remove the USB. However, While digging some deeply, I've came across an amazing utility entitled 'unlocker', an open source application for Windows XP, Vista and 7. It can automatically remove all the application and handles attached to your USB at one click. As a result, you may become able to safely remove the media without any troubles. So let's explore the detailed steps:You can find & download 'Unlocker' from this download link, as well as explore other similar applications to Unlocker. Though, downloading and using unlocker is completely free, it may try to install some bogus applications to your system. However, you can simply uncheck the box to prevent installing crappy toolbar or applications. See in the figure below: After successfully installing unlocker, you have to go at the explorer window and right click on the problem removable media & select 'Unlocker' from the drop menu. A process explorer Window will open where the list of active programs can be found. Simply press on 'Unlock all' to remove all the open handles and application using removable media resources. Follow the same steps as before to remove the USB storage device. Now this time, you won't get the error message as mentioned above.
