Ghost Tracks

I have deleted songs from my mp3 player via USB on my Linux Box.


There are songs in here that you can't see in the browser, but when you goto music it plays the songs. How can this be?

Rogue Songs....

Ubuntu creates a .Trash folder on the drive. So thats where all my songs where at!

So if you got linux keep that in mind.

Does it automatically clean out .Trash folder when it needs room to copy more files to miniplayer?

No i just have to remember that the folder is there and created. Is this something the miniplayer does or is it my machine creating the folder. Cause astonishingly the player knows not to show the .Trash folder. in linux .folders are hidden

I sure its a linux thing, as i have never seen it on miniplayer when using windows to transfer and delete files. I meant does the linux OS automatically clean out trash folder when it needs more file space on the drive or prompt you to empty it like windows does.

Shookie, use Shift+delete if you are using Nautilus (or I imagine any other filemanager) that will skip the .Trash folder and delete totally.

If you prefer to use rightclick menu for deleting then enable "Include a delete command that bypasses Wastebasket" in Nautilus prefs on the Behaviour tab.

Then go and hassle Ubuntu to fix USB devices using wastebasket at all, I know it bugs the hell out of me
