See the following from Use external storage devices with Mac - Apple Support

Eject a storage device (USB drive, flash drive, or other device)

On your Mac, do one of the following:

Select the item to eject, then choose File > Eject.
In the Finder sidebar, click the Eject button next to the item’s name.
On the desktop, drag the item that you want to eject to the Trash.

If you can’t eject a storage device, another app or user may be using one or more files on the storage device. See If an app is using a disk you want to eject and If another user is using a disk you want to eject.
