Hello Graham, In Finder Preferences > Sidebar - ‘show these items in the sidebar’. Do you have Desktop selected as well as ‘Devices’?
You must always eject a USB device correctly either by clicking the eject ‘icon’ ⏏️ beside the Item under Devices - or by selecting (highlight) the USB icon on the Desktop and go to File > Eject ( or Command-E keys) to eject the USB from the Desktop.
