Gaining memory back

[Jmax]

Whenever I delete a file from my PSP via USB, The file goes away, but the memory used up stays..

Though If I delete a file through my actual PSP, the file goes away, AND the memory comes back.

The only way to fix this is to make a copy of all my files and reformat, then put the files back.. Which is really annoying.

Is there a program I can use so that I delete files via USB?

Or any other methods of doing the same thing.

i think you just have to keep reformatting but i know how muh that sux

maybe your memory stick is fake :confused: if it isnt, try to get it replaced (memory sticks usually have a one year warranty)

How do you disconnect the PSP? You are supposed to press circle and then disconnect the cable.

this is what i do: make a new empty folder and name it as the folder you want to delete. Replace it and the file will be replaced with the empty folder. Then delete the empty folder. You should now have your memory back.

yes. You press the "o" button then disconnect the cable.

You have got to delete it from the trash not just let it sit in there :D lol

i thought you were on a mac...you have to empty the trash...it works that way with any file.

I use a mac aswell,

To delete the file, i replace the file i want to delete with an empty folder of the same name, then I delete that one.

I think i have worded it more clearly this time.

just put the files in the trash...then empty the trash.
simple
