Could you show us the chkdsk page?

Open Command Prompt -> Enter CHKDSK -> Select the USB drive -> Print Screen then show it to us.

Put "diskmgmt.msc" without the quotes in the run command box and press ok. Have a look in there if the flash drive has any unallocated space.

Did you recently buy it? I know this answer is very "un technical", but maybe it's a dud... and it's not 4GB?

That's very strange, it may very well be a dud.
