So, back to your question:

You seem to be saying, `df` gives the correct info for your USB drive
stick whereas File Manager doesn't Given there is more than 350 MB on
the stick is File Manager also not giving all the correct files (and
sizes)? I mean as it is now with the 900(ish) MB already on the stick -
what does File Manager report? And what is the output from (presuming
you have cd into the top level directory of the USB stick drive)
i) du -sm
ii) ls -altR
-> I think File Manager (or "du", "ls") gives the correct information on the size of USB disk contents, and "df" displays the usage of the disk as double. After copying file of which size is 440MB around, the result of "df", "du", "ls" is like this :
