hmmm interesting - as i have been taking stuff between a pc and a mac i found that the files were in fact hidden in ds store / trashes folders that i couldnt see as i was opening the stick as the f-drive (shared with our companies uber database) rather than as a portable media device :?
solved
thanks again thanks to geoff!
edit- cept i dont think i could access these files from my mac hence couldnt delete the contents - any ideas?
