This is the 2nd time I plug a usb stick into a system running mint and I can't figure out how to safely remove it.
When I stick it in it mounts and I see the contents, however when I right click on it there is no option to remove it.
I chose unmount which it does but the light on the stick doesn't go out.
I then clicked the computer icon and I see it there as flash drive but again no eject or remove ...
