Free up missing space on camera memory cards
Authored by: bidmead on Jul 01, '07 10:21:12AM

Don't faff about with third party utilities or remembering to move instead of copy, or going down into the command line each time to rm *.

Nick's old hint revived here about deleting the .Trashes directory and creating a .Trashes files instead (so the .Trashes directory never gets recreated) is pretty well standard one-time procedure for all USB sticks, memory cards and any other limited capacity drives that you don't want filling up with deleted dross.

Fin d'histoire...
