I have had something similiar to that happen to my flash drive and I

never did figure out what caused it. It would have several files, with

file sizes that were obviously too big to be on the drive, that could

not be erased or deleted. Then it would quickly get to the point

where no computer could read the flash drive at all.

 

I am a computer tech and plug that thing into allot of computers

at work, to fix spyware and virus problems, and I am sure one

of them infected it with something.

 

I ended up formatting the thing and copying all my files back to

it. That happened to me a couple of times, but it has been awhile

since the last time it happened. I back it up daily to my computer

at home and my computer at work so I never lose anything.
