new m6 8gb problem : left 3.9gb

hey guys i bought my m6 on sat. (5days ago) and uploaded abt 4gb of songs and abt 1.2gb of videos after updating firmware to latest (2.0.0.6version)

i emptied the songs and then the vids and with nothing left on it, it still says 3.6.gb used up. somehting is not right

Maybe you have some hidden files?

no hidden files. just checked. i think i have to reformat. but im wondering what caused this? wil that mean after a few days use data size will be mismatched all the time?

ok reformatting worked but i still want to know how come my player 'lost' 3gb. its only 5 days old so failing flash drive is out of the question.

Are you using a Macintosh? You have to delete the recycle bin or else the storage on your miniplayer (in fact any flash drive) won't be freed up

i dont see any recycle bin on the player. the player showed no data present even though it says 3+gb left out of 8gb. and im using PC. ive used it first 3days with deleting files i added and all was ok. only last night when i cleared those files the player didnt show signs of freed memory. while formatting solved it, it still dusent explain how it happen and whether i shud get a change b4 something worse happens.

Of course there is no recycle bin on your player, it is on the macintosh. But if you're using Windows you won't get this strange behaviour. So nevermind.

Maybe you unplugged the player before all files were deleted?

nope the problem existed b4 i deleted those files. i deleted them to check whether space would free up (which it didnt work)
To clarify, the space shown as full was not even near the size of my files so there were like invisible 'occupants' in my player taking up space so to speak. (eg 2gb of songs but 3 gb of free space left meaning another 3 gb 'floating ard')
