Nothing. Go to Windows Disk Management (right click on Computer - Management - Disk Management).
There right click on G and select Add Remove Drive Letters. Select Remove.
This will remove the drive fron Windows Explorer and bring you back your calmness. The drive was always there, now it got the drive letter thus you see it.
