Talk:Trash (computing)

Actually Nautilus did not implements the Trash specification from FreeDesktop.org.

Nautilus use a simpler approach that forget the original location of the trashed file and does not record the deletion time. Actually it just move the files in a particular folder.

"Under Mac OS X, when a file is deleted in Finder, it is copied to a folder named .Trashes/ username / within the original directory, and when viewing the device's available space the space occupied by the deleted files is shown as occupied." that seems true for mounted devices only, files in the home dir are moved to ~/.Trash/ -- 87.187.2.67 (talk) 11:21, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

usb recycler
Hello! Please someone explain why USB flash drives have a RECYCLER folder. They never contain any files (deleted files are never placed there), they're always hidden, and many viruses locate themselves precisely there. Actually, are recycler folders on flash drives created precisely by viruses?

In fact, I have seen USBs with both a RECYCLED and a RECYCLER folder (both hidden, but the former contained files I'd deleted, while the latter was empty but contained a virus). Thanks in advance! BigSteve (talk) 16:03, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
