Someone with a Ubuntu system told me about a situation that's similar to yours:
If he deletes a file from his USB flash drive through Gnome he sees exactly
what you see.  He told me that if he opens a terminal window and does a ls -a
on the flash drive he discovers a .trash directory.  Deleting that frees up the
space that he expects to see.
