You can also eject removable devices from File Explorer. Locate the device in File Explorer, then right-click it and select Eject as highlighted below. If any of the files on the device are open and in use by an application, you will not be able to safely remove the device.

This post showed you steps to take to properly eject or remove external storage devices from Windows If you find any error above, please use the comment form below to report. I agree! Some PCs have eject keys on the keyboard, usually near volume controls. Look for key with an upward-pointing triangle with a horizontal line underneath.
Safely removing the USB clears the cache and the remaining data; stopping any process going on in the background. Try shutting down or configuring any software programs that create discs or monitor the disc drive. If the door still does not open, insert the end of a straightened paper clip into the manual eject hole on the front of the drive.
Close all programs and shut down the computer. Check if the drive slot to insert the CD will open. Continue with this method if the eject button doesn't work.
Your list of drives will appear on the left panel. You may have to scroll down to the bottom to find it under "This PC. If you're not sure which drive is correct, look for a name or icon reflecting the disk that's inside. If no disk is inside, you may see something like "Optical" or "DVD" near the drive letter instead. Click Eject on the menu. As long as the drive is working properly and no apps are currently accessing files on the CD or DVD in the drive, the tray should now slide open.
If the tray will not open, reboot the PC and try these steps again. If the tray doesn't open after a reboot, see Using a Paperclip if the Drive is Stuck. Method 2. Turn off your PC. If you can't eject the tray using the physical eject button if there is one or Windows , the door is probably jammed. Turning off your computer will stop the disk from spinning and make it safe to open the drive with a paperclip. You'll usually see a small round pinhole on, below, or beside the drive tray.
Behind that hole is a button that can eject the tray whether the PC is on or off. If you're using a desktop PC and don't see a pinhole, you'll need to remove the front panel to make it visible. Check your PC's manual for instructions on removing the panel.
Remove all power cords. It's important that your PC is not connected to a power source when attempting to open the tray with a paperclip. Gently insert one end of a paperclip into the manual release hole. Bend one end of the paperclip so it extends straight, and then insert it slowly into the pinhole. When you feel resistance, push inward until the tray pops open. Sometimes the LED light and manual release holes will look very similar.
If the paperclip doesn't easily insert into the hole, don't force it—you've likely found the light rather than the release hole. Pull the tray out. Gently pull the tray away from the drive to open it fully. Remove the stuck disk if applicable, and then push the tray back in when you're finished. Turn the computer back on then test the drive's eject button or use Windows File Explorer to see if the drive will eject normally. If you are only able to eject the tray with a paperclip going forward, you'll need to have the drive serviced.
Method 3. If you've tried other methods and still can't eject the tray, you may need to open the CD drive internally. Turning off your computer will stop the disk from spinning and make it safe to open the drive. Press the Power button on the front of the computer.
It should release, moving to the "Off" setting. Remove the side panel from the computer. Check your PC's manual for specific instructions. Generally speaking, if there are thumbscrews, you can unscrew them by hand. Other screws can be loosened with a screwdriver. Once unscrewed, press lightly on the panel and slide it rearward until you can remove it completely. You should see a power cable connecting it to the inside of the computer.
The connector is usually on the back of the drive and made of plastic with 4 attached wires. If the cable was not connected, connect it securely now. This was likely the problem. Remove the power cable and try another.
