Probably BitDefender blocks access to the file on your flash drive and doesn't actually delete it. That's the default behaviour when a virus is detected, I think. You can try to run a manual scan on the flash drive and set the actions BitDefender will take to 'delete', not copy to quarantine.

Hello simple6_9guy
Try this go to start,my computer go to the tools menu folder options,display/view,change uncheck hide protected operating system files and check show hidden files and folders press on apply. Double click on the icon of your hard disc now double click on now you will see a folder called recycler open it and delete info.exe from it.
Explore your flash disk and delete autorun.inf and INFO.exe. Perform another BitDefender scan.
Best regards

As a last resort, you can always backup your files from the flash drive to your hard disk and then format the flash drive.
