The exact case was: there were 4 folders on flash card: DCIM, MISC,
VIDEO, and some other (i can't remember). VIDEO folder contained 8GB of
videos. My niece deleted them and what happened? Reasonable, with the
'no_usb_trash' set to 0 they were moved to newly created .Trash-1000
folder and still no free space on the card. OK, my nephew come to help
her. He deleted (with Shift key) that new .Trash-1000 folder. It was not
on the card anymore but (sic!) still no free space on the card. Don't
know what was the problem, may it be they removed the cord too early or
some FAT failure happened, but result was terrible - no big files and no
free space. And you know, libfm/pcmanfm 1.1 doesn't count on any hidden
attributes of any FAT partition files and any files will be shown when
'Show Hidden' is on in any case. And no hidden files were there but just
after deletion of 8GB files no space was freed. So files were not hidden
but some FAT corruption seemed to be so reformatting was required.
