You may possibly have malicious software installed on your eDGe (like a virus on a PC), or one of your apps is configured to do some sort of cleanup and is having the undesired result of deleting everything on the USB drive.

I don't think the eDGe autoformats the USB sticks, but maybe it doesn't like the format of the USB sticks. If you put one of these previously erased USB sticks in the eDGe and copy stuff to them, does the stuff stay or get deleted? What if you add stuff using your desktop and then inserting the USB stick in the eDGe?
