This thread is moving a close to delirium!!!
This morning I was quite frustrated when I was not able to use the space I just cleared off of my usb key.
Ok, great solution - just empty the trash - PERFECT!!
But what I don't understand is why the .trashes file is invisible?? I understand that it is there to allow us to change our mind in case we deleted it by accident. But why save it on the usb key in a secret hidden file? Is this supposed to be a search for a pirate's buried treasure? (arrggh me matey - gimme more rhum!!)
Seriously - if I delete a file it is in the trash of my machine, why keep a second file on the flash drive? What's even more confusing is that it is saved on this flash drive into a file that I can't even access (in normal, simple, average-user way) so what good is it then?
I LOVE my mac but sometimes .......for better or worse, for sickness and in health ......
