USB devices, including external USB hard drives, are meant to be hot-pluggable — you can plug or unplug them when Windows is running. However, some processes may have a lock on the files in your external hard disk and won’t release them that easily. This prevents you from ejecting the drive typically using the Safely remove hardware icon.

The above error happens if an application or kernel level process is having a lock on some files in the external drive. You may have even tried closing all Explorer (This PC) windows, exit the running programs, restarting the Explorer shell, and attempt to eject the USB drive.

Method 1: Using Computer management:
1. Search Computer management in Windows search box and then click on the search result you get.
2. Now, Once it opens up, Locate your USB Disk (Identify it with letter / Size ) . Right click and Choose properties.
3. Click on Policies Tab.
4. Now, select Better performance.
5. Now, Check Option Enable Write caching on the device.
6. Click OK.
7. Restart your Computer.
