I have a 128GB USB stick that I sometimes use to transfer files. Today I discovered that it was full, even though the GUI file manager (Thunar, Xubuntu 14.04) showed only a few files in it. It turned out that the .Trash-1000 file was full. Thunar's empty trash GUI doesn't recognize drives mounted in /media, so I just navigated to the .Trash-1000/files folder and deleted them manually. After doing so I discovered 223 text files in .Trash-1000/info, each a small text file with .trashinfo at the end of the filename. I am unable to delete these files; that is, if I delete one Thunar deletes it but creates a new one that ends in .trashinfo.trashinfo. Every time I delete one Thunar creates a new copy, appending another .trashinfo to the filename.
They are all just a few bytes, but I don't like the idea of the history of what I have been transferring to be visible to anyone I might give the drive to. And since I have already deleted the files that they point to, they are useless. Suggestions? _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
