Want to delete old photos from lexar - Lexar 64MB FLASH MEMORY DRIVE USB 2.0 - (JDCL064231) Hard Drive

you can download the driver or tools from this site http://www.lexar.com/downloads

You're looking for the option to "Format" the flash drive. Plug it in to your computer, and depending on the operating system, you're going to click Start > My Computer or Compute > Then right click on the Flash Drive, it should be listed on the left hand side of the screen. Find the Format option and select it. That should delete all of the files.

Without being harsh or rude don't do anything to that memory card but take it to someone who has the proper recovery program. There is a chance as long as you haven't formatted the memory card and started shooting new images over the ones you want to retrieve. There are a lot of recovery programs on the Internet but most are for specific memory cards.

I use Lexar memory card because I know the photo Lab I use has recovery programs for Lexar and SanDisk. Some off brand or no name memory cards may be more difficult to extract the data from.

To answer your question "What am I doing wrong" you aren't doing anything wrong except not having the correct retrieval program.

Sorry I know this isn't a quick fix but it's the best way of saving those images.

Yes, it is possible to recover your files from lexar jumpdrive. see this step by step guide

Take out the memory stick and insert into another camera or laptop. Then you should be able to retrieve the photos.

Yes. Connect it to your computer, then click my computer. You will see your drive listed among the hard drives. Make sure you select the right one (it should say removable drive or Lexar USB) right click it & select format. All files are deleted & the drive is reformatted & ready to use.
