There might be an application running in the background that is accessing the drive. Check any open programs and task manager to see if there is.

If you're curious on what process is using something on that storage device, use 3rd party task managers like process hacker, process explorer, or resource monitor and look for process list that shows file usage or disk usage list.

 

If you don't care and certain no program you are running is using files on that storage device, just unplug it.

It's probably a background task like a virus scan or something. Run Task manager and in the performance tab, click Open Resource Monitor and in there, navigate to Disk tab and in the Disk Activity view you can see the program/task that's reading or writing to the drive. You can tell by the file it's accessing. You can, but for stability's sake shouldn't, kill the task from the list above. Instead, you should let it finish, shut down and unplug after that.
