Public bug reported:
Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS
Nautilus version: 1:3.36.3-0ubuntu1.20.04.1
Overview:
Nautilus appears to move files to Trash when deleting files, regardless of what
drive it happens on. This threw me off for a bit as I never expected deleted
files to be moved into trash on a USB drive, I expected it to permanently
delete.
Expected behaviour:
After moving to Trash, when I empty the Trash, it should actually empty and
reclaim storage space.
Actual behaviour:
When emptying Trash, the entire USB drive turns read-only. This happened
regardless of what USB drive I tested. The Trash, also, doesn't actually get
emptied. Trying to delete the `.Trash-1000` folder in Terminal shows that it is
indeed read-only file system. Thinking it was corrupted I put the USB drive in
my MacBook Pro and it works there.
Deleted `.Trash-1000` on the MBP and now it works.
