====Properly Removing a USB Device====
'''In Linux, the term to disconnect a storage device from the computer system is called "un-mounting"'''.
To un-mount the USB device prior to removal, view the device in the left-hand side of the Nautilus application. '''Point and click on the eject button that is located immediately to the right of the USB name (label)'''. During this process, the user may encounter an error. This may occur since an application that has saved work to that USB storage device is still running, thus still is using the USB storage device. In that case, close the application, and then point and click on the eject button.
'''Occasionally, the Nautilus application may give an error message, although there are no applications that are currently using the USB device. If this occurs, you can plug-in the device and open the file to confirm that the document was saved, and then eject and then remove the USB drive.'''
