This is an odd question, but have you emptied your Trash Can while the device is plugged in? If you've deleted items, but not emptied the "trash", the files will still be registered on the drive. Another thing you can do is move the files that you need off the drive and format it.

If you like my post, or solution to your issue/question, go ahead and click on the little star by my name and/or accept the post as the Solution. It makes me happy.

I'm NOT an employee of Best Buy, or Geek Squad, though I did work as an Agent for a year. None of my posts are to be taken as the official stance that Best Buy will take on your situation. My advice is just that, advice.
Unfortunately, that's the bad luck of any electronic, there's going to be bad Apples... wait that's a horrible pun.

A lot of factors at hand. Have you used your flash drive as a readyboost device recently? Or have you just clogged up your thumb drive with lots of things? Remember, your actual formatted capacity is going to be less then 16gb in computer math.

Format it before sending the file in the USB, if the problem is still there, go for a new one.

Either there is some data which you are not able to see (unhide all the files) Or it is because of some virus, scan with an updated anti-virus or format it (better option).
