[olpc-help] Phantom files on USB drive

[HoboPrimate]

That seems to be a bug. The journal indexes the contents of the USB key, and places them in a hidden (I think) directory in it. Perhaps when you deleted the files on another pc, the journal still sees information about them. One way to fix it is to see all the files and directories on the usb, and delete the hidden directory.
Can you create a ticket for that to http://dev.laptop.org against the Journal component, telling your OS build?
