Hi guys, a question:

Situation: organizing files. External disk connected.
When emptying the trash bin securely, a window is showing and asking for confirmation to delete secured files. But confirming doesn't help, because the files are still there.
When I disconnect the Ext. disk, these secured files in the trash bin are no longer visible. The bin is empty. But when I connect the disk again, the bin is full of the same files. (see attachment)

Why? How? Thanks!
