When you delete files from a storage drive while the drive is connected to a macOS system, macOS will keep a backup of the deleted files, allowing you to recover files if accidentally deleted. Because of this feature, macOS will also reserve space on the drive in the event that you do recover the deleted files. Therefore, in order to recover the available storage space back to the drive, you will need to empty the macOS Trash Bin, while the drive in question is connected to the masOS computer.
Should this not work, a complete format of the device should be done. Please follow these instructions to format your Kingston drive.
WARNING: Formatting will erase all your data so please make sure you have a copy before proceeding.
- Go to Go > Applications > Utilities and Open Disk Utility.
- Choose your drive from the left panel and then click Erase on the right.
- Select a Volume Format. Select MS-DOS File System or exFAT if you plan to use the drive on macOS and Windows. If used only in a Mac then select Mac OS Extended as the Volume Format.
- Click Erase.
