Hi ojas25...

You should never defrag a flash drive...it lessens their life over time by wearing them out. The new SSD (Solid State Hard Drives) are the same way...

Seems to me it would be better to simply copy everything from a thumb drive/flash drive to a Folder on the HDD then format it and copy everything back to it. 4GB and smaller shouldn't take too long.
