Drive used capacity 2.11 GB, Files I can see are 1.42 GB

Hi falik!
Welcome to PC Helpforum!

Were (or are) you able to see the files on another computer?
Are you sure the files are not hidden (accidentally)?

Exclamation Re: USB Drive Files not showing

Further to my previous post, today I have further tested and found following interesting situation:

Plugedin the USB, copied some files.
Confirmed files are shown on the USB,
safely removed the USB and again plugin.
NO files are shown, now, however driver properties show space has been used.

I have done this on two different computer and used file space is increased, however I can;t see files on the USB

any clue?

Hi falik!

Are there important files on the drive? You could try reformatting the USB stick to see whether that makes a difference or not.

Not important, these are just test files.
Just wanted to know the reason if any body know?
because, mostly, we just copy files and move ahead, in that case it might have big prices to pay.
Thanks for the suggestion.
