i have a 2GB Transcend pen-drive .. i use it for transferring data's .its often get infected with worms and viruses. when i connect it in mac i can see it locked .i able to unlocked and deleted those files.but i am not able the delete forlder created by worm like "AutoRun" or "System" like that .only solution i have is formating it.
it's really annoying is there any other solution than this ? demigod |
using the terminal and removing the items has no effect?

Perhaps repairing it with disk utility may help. It works for me, although it only seems to work with paragon ntfs.

It's a program from paragon that will give you read/write access to ntfs partitions, just like macfuse but more stable.

I had an issue similar to this (sans the viruses) with a drive that I had imaged to Windows XP. I couldn't remove anything from the drive. I had to play with Disk Utility (open and close it, right click on drive over and over) and eventually "Erase" was not greyed out and I could format the drive and now it's functioning properly.
