    Why is a folder ghosted on my 256GB usb thumb drive?

    I partitioned a 256GB thumb drive. 13GB & the remaining. One stores Mojave installation, the other copy of my Music folder. When I finished copying the Music folder which is only 90GB, it appears untouchable or ghosted. Not sure what is correct term. Why did this happen?
