But martyh's link worked. and now the drive has more free space.

It it worth converting all flash drives to NTFS, as 9.99999% of computers see NTFS.

The only issue I would have with converting all my drives to NTFS is that my Xbox cannot see the NTFS drive, so I have left my media drive with FAT32.
try formatting that drive for the xbox in EXFat ,it is a FAT format that is recognized by xbox and allows larger file sizes and can be read by NTFS systems .My NAS drive is formatted in EXFAT and both xbox and pc's stream from that no problem
