Inaccessible Files

[EdgedThesis]

Adobe Album Starter automatically recognizes videos as 'pictures' to catalog.

 

 

 

Whenever a flash drive is inserted, it pops up with a request to begin cataloging them. I always say 'no'-- and begin to delete the videos off of my flash drive to make room for more.

 

 

 

This time, even after I deleted them off the drive, the videos, inexplicably, still took up memory. And so my flash drive is host to files I cant even access and delete.

 

 

 

I tried to 'Get Photos' using the Adobe Album Starter, and allow it to extract the files to a place where I could easily delete them. I did so, and the option 'Remove Files from Camera/Memory device?' popped up. I clicked Yes, but it gave me an error message. The flash drive is still used up.

 

 

 

Now I cant even access the videos through Adobe Album Starter.

 

 

 

Any clue on how to fix this? All I want to do is get rid of the files videos on the drive.

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: After shoving the flash drive in and out of the port a couple of times, they started showing up in Adobe Album Starter again. Extracting and deleting now.

 

 

 

Though I still have a question: What exactly causes the videos to remain on the disk even after you delete them? Is there any way to prevent this behavior in the future?

 

 

 

 

 

v Thank you-- I'll do that. No point bumping this up at the time being, except to express gratitude.

Your flash drive may be corrupted. You should try formatting it. Remember to copy your files before you do this. Even if it isn't corrupted, you should do this sometimes, it at least increases speed if nothing else.

 

 

 

You could also try another program and see if it happens again.
