Hi folks. I was deleting files from my beloved digital recorder today and had my virtual machine up. It's a vmware virtual machine running Windows XP. I decided to do some experimenting so i looked on my recorder from the PC side of things and in the root of the memory was some files that the mac had left on the recorder, namely some hidden files called .trashes, _.trashes, .Spotlight-v100 etc. I think that those .trashes files have the same function as what windows do on an external hard drive or a partition when it puts a recycle.bin there so that you can put files in the trash even on a digital recorder. I personally am not so worried about those files, but i know friends who are worried that they will grow unproportionally as you through things in the trash, so what it all boils down to is: Is there a way of bypassing the trash alltogether and simply delete the files right away, rather like you do in that other dreaded operating system if you so desire? Sorry for the somewhat longish post and thanks in advance for any help. /Krister.
