Re: Really annoying problem regarding removable media
Just for clarification, do you mean just to empty the normal trash? I have done this, and those annoying files are still there, every time, on my removeable media. They make it so mp3's won't play on my dvd player(which also has a usb port). thanks for the blue harvest link.
