To erase a USB memory stick, using a MAC, use the application Disk Utility. With the USB stick inserted into the USB drive, highlight that stick from the list of drives. Then select erase. It will erase all of the files on the drive and reformat it.
You can also use a program called Houdini 2, which will allow you to see hidden files, move, and erase them.
