Windows 10: USB drive not detecting after installing VLC Media player

Hi,

I installed VLC Media Player. It reconfigured my computer. When I went to pull up my "G" drive it was gone. Now when I put my USB in, it doesn't work. It wont even light up as if it was trying to work. What I would like to do is - refresh my computer to the way it was before I installed the VLC Media Player. Can you tell me how.
