Windows 10: scan USB

Dear Microsoft Community,Have just used a USB stick at my local internet cafe. Sadly, they have a very old system. So, when I took the USB stick out, it completely wiped the USB. I only knew about this many hours later.Can anybody tell me how to scan a USB stick, please? For the first time, when I launched a full scan of my machine, it had 2 threats, both of them severe, and both of them worms. Fortunately, I have now scanned the device again, and there is my system clean.Marek
