If you used WBFS manager, then I guess you formatted the partition to WBFS.
when you have a WBFS partition, you can't manage the content on Windows or Linux without a program (here you are using WBFS manager, but Wii backup Manager is also compatible with WBFS partitions).
Attention, WBFS manager has a known issue : when you delete a game from your partition, another present game has part of it marked as deleted too (even if you didn't delete that other game).
next time you install a new game, it will overwrite the area incorrectly marked as free, and your old game will become corrupted.
The new game is fine, but one of your old game is not.
I recommend you still use Wii Backup Manager on Windows to manage that partition.
It's strange that going to WBFS fixed your issue, but at least you found a solution
maybe the FAT32 you were using weren't good (there are different FAT32 versions).
WBFS is not bad, as long as you don't use WBFS Manager, or as long as you know your games can be corrupted and you keep a backup on PC to restore them when you want to play.
