First off I'm in college, in the UK, and I had left my USB in class and when I went back to look for it, it was gone.
Turns out it was handed in to a lecturer and they went through it.
Now they are going to check my work, since they found folders that have suspicious names, other peoples names on them; one of the folders was a backup folder that was randomly named a persons name, which was not mine, although the work in it was mine. The other folder was also named a name other than mine and had someone elses work in it, which they had given me, and I only used it for reference against my work to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
I'm really worrying and panicking as to what could happen?

I had left the USB in class by mistake, and they didn't know whose it was; it also had stuff on it that will count towards my final mark, but I used the other persons work on there as reference to my own (so to make sure that I hadn't missed anything out).

I'm actually in college mot Uni


When they asked what the work was on there for and if I needed it I said I didn't and deleted it, they then followed up with "I'll have to check your work".
So now there isn't any evidence, unless they copied the contents of the USB.

I usually name stuff like that as 'coursework' and such, but I was feeling a bit random at the time and decided to give it a name. xD
