I know to you regulars here this must be such an easy question. I think I know how but I just want to double check in case I'm screwing up somehow.
I do it by right clicking on that green arrow next to my screen clock and selecting "Safely Remove Hardware" and then choosing to stop my flash drive..then i here the sound,then i see a little ballon dat say's is safe to remove it..but i sometimes click x on the balloon is dat still correct?

Didn't you already ask this? Yes, that's correct. If you've deleted anything from the flash drive, make sure you empty the trash before you eject it, otherwise that space may not be freed up.

as long as nothing on the usb drive is open you can pull it out without fear of any possible loss of data. if you want to do it through the tools available, the little disk with the green arrow on the bottom right corner of your screen will do it, left click it and click the drive you want to disconnect and it will tell you if it is safe, if it is it disconnects, if something is still running from the usb drive, then it tells you that it can't disconnect, check to make sure that you have closed everything and try again

rip it out. 99% of them are used to that, theres no REAL need to stop anything before you pull it out. but an easier way is to right click it on my computer and press eject.
thats with most flash drives

Yup!
Most people just yank the thing out, anyways.
