Remove the functional .Trashes trash can from memory sticks
Authored by: stewby on Jan 29, '04 04:09:52PM

Yes, but is it the general idea that in order to delete something from a removable flash drive, you should have to delete all the files that are in the trash on that machine? What if you are (as often happens to me) using someone else's computer, and want to delete something from the flash drive? Do you delete everything in their trash? Do you move all their trashed files somewhere else, empty the trash, then move them back? Do you open a terminal window (this is what I do, but is more work than pressing "OK" if they don't have terminal handy)?

I for one find this hint very useful.
