deleting files off of usb port

[brettdale]

Okay for some reason when I download a show from my computer and put it on a USB Stick, and Put the USB Stick into
my DVD player, three files show up, The tv show, but also "System Volume" and WPS Settings"

It wont allow me to play the show.



I put the USB Stick back into the computer and delete the show.

The computer says there is no file on the USB Stick, when I put the USB Stick back into the DVD player, its coming up
with "System Volume" and "WPS"

Howe do I delete these two files from the USB Stick where my computer is telling me there is no file on the stick.

Ive been using the same USB Stick for years and there has never been a issue.

7. Formatting should have wiped it clean

Are you saying you downloaded it again and it's still putting all of that on your flash drive?

9. Yes

Formatted it, then when I stuck it back in the dvd player "System volume" and "Wps" came up again.

8. I found this

Might be worth looking at. I don't know. I'm a "simple fix" person. Good luck.

2. You should be able to reformat it like any other drive

I'd probably try to make sure you format it with the same type of filesystem, though. Not sure what filesystems your DVD player is willing to read.

4. been using it for years

Its never been a issue before, I download Xvid.avi files and its played every one for years, now for some
reason its an issue.

10. Are you talking about folders or files? If folders, do they have 'dim' looking icons?

If so, just ignore those. Somehow, you've unchecked the 'hide system folders and files' option for the drive. However, if you don't have those, then you don't have a 'file system' on the drive (though they are typically hidden from the users view in a Directory, they do need to be there whether you know about them or not). Their mere visibility to you now is almost surely NOT your problem, IMHO.

When you reformatted the USB drive just now, did you set it format using the NTFS file system, or the FAT32 system?

If you used NTFS, reformat using FAT32 and try this process again, let us know how it goes.

A lot of non-windows machines won't read NTFS properly, FAT32 is far more universal.

If problem continues, may be worth trying this: hold Windows button (between CTL and ALT) + E to bring up File Explorer. Choose the 'View' menu. To the right you should see a checkbox for 'Hidden Files'. If it's unchecked, then do nothing, but if checked, uncheck it, if those system folders disappear, then try moving the USB to the DVD player (with a video file on it) again.
