What are you using it in?

What file system?

My standard go to in this situation is to just scan the file system on the drive for errors. SD Cards can usually tolerate not being ejected very well. I also suggest never moving files to any flash drive by cut and paste, only copy and paste. While it’s not usually a problem, there is a higher chance of losing files with cut and paste if you accidentally remove the drive before transfer is done.

Well… One time is probably fine as long as you weren’t transferring anything, as you said.

unless you had a program running on it though.

just to be sure:

If your on windows run a disk diagnostic (Go to file explorer, right click your disk, properties, then tools, and hit scan for errors, then click allow, etc…)

it should be fine regardless ive done this plenty of times on accident, once or twice your likely fine
