Using USB Flash stick with Mac

    Hi all,

    Can someone answer this question for me please??

    When I am using my little flash USB stick in my Macbook Pro, when I delete something from it, the available space on it (the USB stick) does not increase as you would expect? I tried removing it and inserting it back in but it still shows the original space left.

    I eventually always end up having to erase the disk completely and start from scratch...is there something I'm not doing right or is this just a little nuance with Macs?

    :confused:

    Yup, those deleted items are in the USB stick's Trash. You need to empty your Trash.
