I have two firesticks (2nd gen and a 4K) with both using a OTG power Y cable.

I can access the USB thumbdrive on both and access the files.

But I can not find a way to safely eject or unmount the thumbdrive.

If I unplug the drive I get an error message saying to go to my firetv/settings/storage and select USB to eject.
But there is no USB listed in any settings menu

If I plug the thumbdrive into the computer I get an error and it scans and fixes it.

How can I safely remove the USB drive from the firestick?
