Hi - have removed data from a memory stick, but from a 15MB Memory stick it is only offerring 354Kb of space and saying i have not enough memory to put on any new data, Years ago before i got this Mac , i could format it - have tried researching on web which suggests i right click something which cant do on Mac Book - any any ideas how i can clean up my mountain of memory sticks?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
Try this:
With the stick plugged in, go to Finder->Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility. From there, you should see your memory stick appear in a sidebar on the left. Click on it, then click on the "erase" tab and follow the instructions.

Thanks. I forgot all about that. I deleted stuff from my flash drive, but the capacity was still low. It has to be deleted out of the trash for the space to be available. Hope others find your comment helpful too.
Hey, thanks. Did it and totally worked.
When you removed the data from from the memory stick did you move it directly to the trash and then empty the trash with the stick mounted?
Thank you so much for your help … worked perfectly
Thank you so much! 🙂
Thanks, but not in El Capitan, inexplicably.
That was addressed to 'My Apple Support Account', BTW.
