    You can either choose to delete the now un-hidden hidden files or better still reformat the card in FAT32. This will make sure the files disappear.

    Then i suggest try copying a large block of files of about 1.5 gb to the card to see how full it gets .
    Loads of fake ebayed cards around .

    Easier way of doing that - just download and run H2testw -

    It will write data to the full capacity of the usb flash drive / memory card and also verify the data after.

    "Bit pointless selling fake USED cards ." well you'd think so but a lot of sd cards sell for as much ,or more, on ebay than you can buy new off teh interweb

    Glad you're sorted, dori2o

    I've very definitely had a fake 4gb Sandisk card off ebay. But that was when SD cards were v expensive. Probably not worth faking them now.
    Apparently I'm 10 years old on MSE. Happy birthday to me...etc
