Type of USB device?
Personal experience:
  • USB stick/flash drive is released by vbox when it is not attached to a virtual machine
    • Menu bar --> Devices
      USB Devices
      Select the drive
      Ctrl-Click for Pop-Up
      Select Disconnect
    Non stick/flash drives: must be disconnected and quit vbox to have device released
YMMV, of course
