You probably want to go into Terminal and delete any invisible files such as

Yep, those invisible files can cause issues with some devices that
aren't expecting them. They can also confuse novice people (e.g. taking
a USB thumb drive into a high street print shop and they try to open
the invisible file instead of teh proper PDF file).

There are a few utility apps that will delete the invisible MacOS files
when ejecting the drive, without needing to use the Terminal. The two
best known ones are:

- "Blue Harvest"
<http://www.zeroonetwenty.com/blueharvest/>

- "CleanMyDrive"
