clean memory

[rogachez]

Hi, someone disconnected my usb-key from the computer before finishing a deletion. Now I have some crazy memory on the loose. I know how to clean from my floor the blood of the person who did it, but I don't know how to do the same with the renegate megabytes. Could someone help?

Just plug it back in, destory the file propher.
Reboot the system.
Unplug drive.

And it should be fine

Cheers,
Robin

destory the file propher.? Sorry, I didn't understand that.

I have some memory full with data that " ls -plathR " cannot see.
I destroyed (with " rm -r ") the folder where the data was, before the failed deletion.
I rebooted the system, I remounted the usb-key, and the garbage is still there.

What is what I must detroy and how? Is there any apt-gettable utility to clean up a drive?

Thanks.

Yea, try to remove that junk now again.
It should just work.
Linux is really user friendly in that way.
