I opened it up in Finder and deleted everything except MEMSTICK.IND and it's still saying "Capacity: 30.9mb / Available: 144kb / Used: 30.7mb". I got it about 2 years ago, so returning it to the store isn't an option...is there something I can do to clear it and start over?

I hesitate to ask the obvious. After moving everything to trash, did you empty the trash? Also sometimes macs don't recompute used or available space until after a restart, so check it again. sam

Wow, I'm an idiot. I knew you have to empty the trash to free up space on a hard-drive, but for some reason I didnt think the same applied to a memory stick. Thanks a lot though.
