You must _always_ un-mount the drive before removing it.

Are you sure you have files on the disk?

Look at the mount point wnen the drive is un-mounted and remove and
see if  there are any files copied onto the mount point.  If so,
delete them or move them to another location.  The mount point should
be empty.
