Can’t trickshot me!
This problem happened time ago, but seemed I fixed it for a bit when I formatted the drive with the Windows Utility. Then I'm getting this again.
Sometimes it happens that, if I put files on it, they work but then when I remove the USB and plug it back again, the files get corrupted, and, I can't delete, rename, open, copy/cut them. Also they have weird names..
A screenshot maybe can help.
Here in this screenshot, for example I put some .PDF files on a folder, this is what I have now :

Does someone know how can I really fix this issue? Also why I get it..?

Never heard of something like that outside of a virus. Have you looked at the files on your other drives or tried another flash drive?

It is more than likely a virus on the USB, try a virus scan on that drive, and see what the results are. (Malwarebytes anti-rootkit may be a good idea to run as wel)
