just because you delete it does not mean its gone did you remove it from the recycle bin? if so do a disk cleanup and a disk defrag and see if that helps.

Run a disk cleanup.
Also, do not reformat the drive into FAT32. NTFS is what it should be.

Most pen drives are FAT16, the bigger ones are FAT32.
