    I have a Sandisk Cruzer mini that can store 256 MB of files, data, etc...on it. Recently, something weird has come up and half of the memory in my storage device is being taken up by something invisible. All that's in there is some file that came defaul with it when I bought it. Ive done defrags, virus scans, anything you can think of, but I dont know what is taking up that space and 128 out of 256 MB on a storage device is A LOT. Can somebody help me figure out what's going on?
