LibreElec+RaspberryPi2. How do you safely eject USB drive?

I have LibreElec installed on a RaspberryPi2. I wanted to know if there's any way to safely eject an external drive which is plugged into USB?

Short-question-long:

I have been physically ejecting the drive after I stop any media from playing and navigating back to the main/root menu in LibreElec. But I noticed some files go missing on the drive and/or not being listed in the LibreElec file browser (sometimes they appear when I plug the HDD into my PC). Does LibreElec write anything onto external drives, or does it just read? I suspect it might be happening because I haven't safely elected the external drive.

Cheers

I just go to file manager..look for your drive there..right click or whatever you do for context menu and choose ''Remove Safely".
