Downloaded Frostwire to USB Flash, can't delete Incomplete Folder

Hello. I had just posted this question regarding the PNY 2GB memory card. I selected the wrong product and I appologize. My problem is that I am unable to delete Frostwire's supposedly 54 GB Incomplete folder from my 2GB flash drive. It tells me that it is unable to find the file source and cannot delete the folder which is full of strange subfolders with weird symbols, and oddly named file [types] 2GB+ in size. I've scanned the folder, and it does not contain any viruses. I was easily able to delete the Frostwire application once it was scanned. I have checked to see how much space this incomplete folder is taking up, but it doesn't appear to be using any, regardless of its 54GB claim. I have no problems downloading, saving, or taking up any space otherwise. Please help, I'm trying not to resort to reformating the memory stick. Thank you.

All accidentally deleted.

I would suggest you "NOT" to copy anymore files on your SD Card to prevent data loss or data corruption. Stop using it immediately.
Download an undelete program such as Undelete Plus. I think its a free download. and run the
program to recover your pictures. If you attempt to continue to use your SD Card you are at
higher risk of loosing your data.

My pny 2gb micro sd memory card is write-protected, i couldn't store or delete any files. what should i do? pls help me.

First check to see if it has a slide bar any where on the card itself to lock/unlock.

second download and install Sony EzRecover....

http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/Other-DRIVERS-TOOLS/Others/Sony-EzRecover.shtml

and use it to format the card (which will erase all data).
If that doesn't work select Control Panel --> Administrative Tools--> "Disk Management. Select the micro SD drive and click Delete. Right-click on empty drive and select New Partition.
