>What happens if you delete them from the command line? First I tried David's suggestion to delete the *.trashinfo files in the info folder from the command line. That worked. Then I tried deleting the entire .Trashinfo-1000 folder from the command line, and that also worked. I didn't need su for either operation. Next I copied a file to the drive and then deleted it. Upon deletion a new .Trashinfo-1000 folder was created, so I'm back where I started from. Deleting the .Trash-1000 folder is a very temporary solution, plus it can only be done from the command line. I am more concerned with the reasoning behind this behavior. I recall a long time ago an irate employee wrote a scathing letter to her boss in MS Word, but then thought better of it and deleted the bad stuff before sending it. Unknown to her (or most of the rest of the world), MS Word stored all of her deletions in the file, so the boss could still find them. She got canned and MS caught hell in the media. I'm not moving evil stuff with the drive, but it disturbs me that a hidden record is created which the user can only delete from the command line. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
