I have a Sandisk e250 mp3 player, configured to act as a usb drive when connected to my PC. I have been loading directories of mp3s to it, and it organizes them into a database and plays them in several ways. It works well.

When I try to erase the directories, I've been left with a few "garbage" directories, i.e., those with valid names but garbage files within them, and I can't get rid of them. Some of the entries are pretty large sized, so that I've lost a couple of hundred megabytes, and I increase the size of the garbage section, and lose more room, everytime I wipe the disk.

I don't know what kind of file system it uses. Is there a disk editor I can use to get rid of this mess and get back all the room I've lost?

How are you deleting these files??? Did you try rm -rf <filter here> - watch this command as you may delete everything. If you delete in Konqueror by default it puts files in Trash if you hit Shift+Del it deletes them from everywhere you can do the same at the command line with rm -rf and remove all temporary unneeded files etc. The files system is probably FAT if it works on Windows as well as Linux.
