    Flash Drive Is Not Clearing


    I inserted a 8 GB flash drive to my Xbox 360. When I went in storage, it said that the flash drive only had 7.4 GB available. So I went onto my Mac and erased all the data using the Disk Utility application. When I went back on the console, it said that
    I still only had 7.4 GB available. Is there any solution to this?

    :)

    Flash Drive Not Clearing

    You can't. The rest of the space is occupied by the system files of the flash drive and the space is not usable. All flash drives are like that. An 8GB drive should have 7619MB free or 7.44GB.

    Flash Drive Is Not Clearing

    That would actually be normal and nothing to fix. Whenever you purchase a storage device, the amount of storage listed is actually a rounded amount. So it will actually have slightly less than 8GB to begin with. There would also be some hidden system files
    added when the console configures the flash drive which will take up a little space.

    data lost (unreadable) from usb flash drive

    Is the xbox capable of your flash drive type?

    If not then this could be an issue.

    If this has worked in the past then you may of ejected the flash drive to soon whilst data is still been submitted to and/or from the flash drive.

    You can clear all data from your flash drive via your computer.

    On your computer load up the flash drive, there should be no files there,

    If this is the case on 'My Computer'/'Computer' (Depending on the version) right-click your flash drive and click 'Format' from here it will clear the flash drive and will be usable again for computer usage.

    Hope this help,

    Brad.

    My GTA V Is Not Playing.

    Many people are having this problem. Only install the install disc. Flash drives that are not 100% Xbox comparable are having this issue. If possible clear up hard drive and install on hard drive. . If not try another flash drive if you have one.

    IloMilo game how do you save your progress

    Have you tried to clear your XBOX 360's System Cache and tried again or tried to recover your XBOX 360's gamertag after deleting it, or even tried to move your save file to a USB Flash Drive and profile to a USB Flash Drive? Those are just three things you
    can do to see if it's your hard drive acting up. Clear XBOX 360 System Cache >
