Flash drive space issues

Linux and Unix-Like Ubuntu
1

Hello,

I have a 2 GB RealTek flash drive that has worked well in the past. It's about 1 year old but lately when I plug it into my Ubuntu Intrepid system it only shows 50 MB available even though there are no files on it:

$ df -k  /media/disk-1
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdd1              2013920   1963520     50400  98% /media/disk-1

Here is the lsusb for the device:

$ lsusb -s 002:003
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0bda:0158 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Mass Stroage Device

Any ideas as to why this is or how to fix it?

Thanks,

mgb

Hi,

Never mind, Ubuntu creates a .Trash directory that I wasn't seeing and it was full of files I had deleted earlier. :stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry for the wasted bandwidth...
