Q: Question about my USB drive post-Boot camp

I just installed Windows on my Mac using bootcamp. During the process it renamed my USB drive "WININSTALL" and placed a ton of files on it. Now that boot camp has finished and Windows is successfully installed on my Mac, can I delete those files and use my USB drive as normal?

    Make a backup of the USB, before you overwrite it. Future Windows Recovery can re-use the same installer. It also has the appropriate drivers which support your Mac. Finding such drivers again, can be a painful exercise.
