the drive to the Trash Can.
2. Wait for a few seconds. Once the Aegis Portable icon has disappeared,
you can safely remove the drive.
NOTE: To protect against unexpected data loss, Windows checks that all files on the
disk are closed before allowing the USB device to be removed. If you receive an error
message that says “The device cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again
later.” Close all Windows and Programs that are using files from the drive, then repeat the
procedure above.
