I don't see a reason for leaving .Trash-1000 on the users drive either,
after they were even asked to clean up they trash, and they -did-. Not
all OS's respect the period either, so to the user it seems like Ubuntu
didn't do it's job of cleaning properly to begin with.

you should open a bug on bugzilla.gnome.org where the people writting
the software will read it rather than argue on a distribution bug
tracker if you have strong opinions about the way it's working

'Empty trash' on flash drive
thank you for your bug report, the folder has to be added manually on
some filesystem to specify that you want to use a trash, deleting the
directory would mean the user has to do that every time and not once,
that would create issue for no real benefit

Please don't mark this as Invalid. I'm not saying the folder is
unnecessary whilst the drive is mounted. However, the user does not
expect it to be there and so I am requesting that it be removed
automatically in this specific situation: Where the user has requested
an unmount AND requested
did you read my comment before? there is filesystem where you will have
no such directory until you create one manually to say that you want
one, if the system was to delete if for you every time you unmoun the
drive you would have to do this work every time you plug the key, not
really a win for
Sorry, but I don't understand your explanation. You seem to be saying
that *I* am manually creating this folder? This is not true.
All I know is that I can take a 'clean' flash drive, copy some files
onto it from my Windows machine, then transfer the files to my Ubuntu
machine and delete them
what I'm saying is that on some filesystems format you need to create
the directory manually because the permissions are not handled correctly
and your suggested changes would mean user using such formats would have
to redo the work every time they use they device because the system
tries to be
Ah, I get it.
So then my suggestion would be that Ubuntu delete the .Trash folder ONLY when:
1. the OS has created the folder during the same mount session, and
2. the user has emptied the trash, and
3. the user has requested an unmount
