  1. 'Ghost' file on a USB taking up 20 GB of space?


    Sorry if this isn't the appropriate sub for this.

    So I have a 32 GB USB that had a locked .bat folder in it that contained data worth of 20GB. One day I plug in the USB, enter the password for the .bat but it says the folder is empty.

    Considering that I didn't need that folder anyway, I just hit right click +delete both on the empty folder and the .bat however it still shows that there is 20 GB worth of data.

    I tried the 'wipe out data from disk" option but it didn't work.

    Anything else I can try?

  3. creating a boot ghost usb

    Hi Freddy,

    Ghost is a disk cloning and backup tool. In Windows, we can easily create a bootable USB with your cloned system.

    • First, prepare the WinPE which we will use to capture the customized image by following the steps on this

    • Boot into WinPE to capture the computer image you have customized. To do it, check out this

    • Then, convert WIM file into ISO.
    • Lastly, create the Bootable USB with your customized image.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
