I'm not sure if this is the problem you're experiencing, but it's a somewhat common problem to "lose space" on a USB drive. Here are several guides for fixing this in Windows: http://geekswithblogs.net/ilich/archive/2013/04/26/recovering- unallocated-space-of-a-usb-flash-drive.aspx https://www.oxhow.com/recover-lost-space-on-removable-usb-drive/ http://www.ampercent.com/recover-lost-space-removable-usb-drive/9352/ And in Linux: https://askubuntu.com/questions/329109/usb-flash-drive-emptied- but-theres-no-free-space-and-no-used-space-on-it - -- Andrew David Wong (Axon) Community Manager, Qubes OS https://www.qubes-os.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJXYs0mAAoJENtN07w5UDAwaAgQAJ7DymXV0sVJ1oV2zrRUN/Yv UOqRj53R2jov1GEUHzvpk1zkQeEH1AgvaGQBPrp1l0QRGBMKVu1gzXLR0oV8Zvri 31lpM63F+5aps3m30H6WVtDo3eKTkwQgRp86eIlPkHGFqRyFiLkBS1dEUqjiH/cK GkFMc+kldax8cS9tpFSNdqoZ1vRtJFgwWFEsTxJidc7QI7Gwwlnk82grweeN/IT/ zjDBaa6aTCHftGtirCDwn41jdRBfU4/cyXM/faZyu6HZbosCDt2uQR4GgcHi1rSl k1psy4V7WZjAJxtEUVvxO3HAKcTeyd3gfSNYM8A5/V3YpbmQCYK1cjLIipcyFDSr 2P3x1g2u10Sc/dWfvV/U+EyWZ5+ytvAVyFZAmiLHfXQzkHtghOhvsih/ovvmfPtK 8ERl1ygsvkxg1X0QrvX16vyIztwcjykkuZqGZqhExd6COS1PjKYzMxzDa75/dWu+ JnWxTe+fp4Sz+Kq+QkuAQjgAnvFQGPTgcXOcKPTZpGgk1Pnzmc0sZoaWK0h98ECw hhQkbl56lPHmSFusISot/GrvQo5zY5ZKNTtmqqUJ9DsQYshhdkw79oMKZ8R+VwmB 8NqpxxWiAfagzF6dXQSsM51+4IIX59VygAOelg34ey2W1V1R9QXgmXGfgegEH8TC 22m4xnZYwK4VQGRlUGvd =OoXb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
