Another cause of the warning message:
You have saved a file directly to your flash disk and that program is still open and the directory in the "Save as.." function is still the flash disk.
Example:
You are using Excel and you've saved a file by clicking File>>Save as>>(browsed to flash disk directory)>>saved the file.
When you try to safely remove the flash disk, you will receive the warning message.
Solution:
You close Excel (and all excel files in the process) - very annoying especially if you are currently working on several workbooks.
OR
Just click File>>Save as..>>(browse to another location)>>cancel
Try to remove the flash disk.
That's what I do when I get that message..
I hope I've helped..

Indeed petz629.
its because the file is cached/temp stored on the flash memory
