mac and windows

I am preparing a USB flash drive for a windows user. Working on my mac I tossed out the “exe” file that I saw on the disk forgetting that the memory will be used on a windows machine. Can the drive still be read by windows? Do I need to download a copy of that “exe” file so they can read the drive?

the “exe” file

Are you sure it was only a single .exe file?

Can the drive still be read by windows?

Yes.

Do I need to download a copy of that “exe” file so they can read the drive?

No.

From what I know, even if all the files are deleted on that stick, it would still work. Maybe just the added features but overall, it will still work.
