Remove shortcuts from any external drive

Just follow the simple steps to remove that shortcuts and retrieve your folders back.
After plugging in your virus affected drive, just press Win key + R to open Run box and type 'cmd' and press Enter key. (Without quotes)
In the opened command prompt, open your drive by enter your drive letter . For example, if your drive letter is 'g' enter g: and press Enter. (To find your drive letter just open “My Computer” and check your drive icon)
Now type "del *.lnk” and hit Enter.(without double quotes) (note: there is a space between 'del' so be careful)
Finally type the below command and hit Enter. (without double quotes)
“attrib -s -r -h *.* /s /d /l”
That’s it, just wait some seconds. Then open and check your drive. Your folders will be retrieved. I hope this is useful for you.
