Space is not enough?

Hi, I only keep one file in mbed. Every time I removed the old one and copied into the new one. But now it says no space is enough for copying. The property shows it full. But there is only one 340-byte .html file in it. Where is the other 2.1M space?

Thanks.

Which OS are you using? I believe OSX (Mac), and possibly also Linux automatically create a recycle bin on the flash drive where it throws everything that you delete. You probably should see it if you enable hidden files and folders, but otherwise just format the drive (and yes, thats perfectly safe).

Accepted Answer

Yes, I'm using Mac. From Windows, I saw the trash folder. But it only takes small space. Anyway, I re-formatted it and it works now. Thanks!
