I did some more investigation and figured out that it only happens when you overwrite files or create files that are not finished. Like it makes a hidden temporary file first...
I would be interested to know what these memory cards have on inteligent. Meaning, do they have some logic on board to manage the content, like a hard disk, or is it just like a diskette... a simple storage place.

One problem is the losing of data on cards where I think Sandisk is to blame but can be solved with Storage Tools....

the other problem is losing disk space. Something I blame the Axim hardware or Windows CE where the space on the memory card is not cleaned correctly...

I did not lose any files since I used the Storage tools, but once in a while I need to reformat my disk just to get the free space back.

I wonder why it is so difficult to solve this... It must be solveble with software since a format can do it means it is just something on the level of the FAT where space is allocated but not assigned to a filename...
