When you delete a file from a USB drive on Mac OS X, it is moved to the trash, leaving a blind copy on the USB drive. You could completely empty the trash, but you would lose any other files in the trash as well. That is why deleting items does not help you regain space. With OptimUSB, you can keep your USB drive optimized and regain the actual disk space.
It is available in English, Spanish, Italian, French, German and Japanese.

OS X generates these hidden files for thumbnails, folder colours etc and while they are hidden in OSX, they are visible on a windows machine.
This utility is designed to remove these files so the drive is clean for a windows machine.
If you dont use your usb stick on a windows machine, then you dont need this app.
I dont understand why people download software "just to see what it does" and then write reviews not even understanding the programs purpose....

Moreover, these tiny files are just going to be recreated the next time one mounts the USB memory device. It's ultimately a futile exercise, since the reclaimed space is only "there" when the device is NOT mounted, and therefore unavailable anyway.

Anyone has good results?
Anyways, in most occasions it is important to format your flash the correct way. imo tools like this will not resolve a slow flashstick.

This is pretty disastrous. In my case it meant I had to re-install the Rockbox operating system on my MP3 player, and I had lost all my customisations. Many UNIX-style utilities store user preferences in files that start with a dot. Websites generally have a .htaccess file, and other similarly named files are possible.
My advice is steer well clear of this utility, unless someone can confirm that the new version no longer does this. The only safe way to clean up a USB stick is to remove specific files, and this list should really be user-configurable.
