Public bug reported:
The operating system in which I found this bug is : Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic
Koala, 64-bit version
Without using "Usb Startup Disk Creator" or any other program, I simply want to
delete data from my usb stick.
I expect that the usb stick's memory would be freed, in other words, that I
will have free memory in the stick in the quantity equal with the size of the
deleted data.
Instead of this,
if I choose to delete data by pressing the button "delete" from the keyboard,
the file disappear from the pane and "rubbish" fill up. Then I check the usb
stick form "properties" and I find that the memory has not been freed, it is
the same as before I delete the chosen data. That happens even if I empty the
"rubbish" folder.
If I choose to delete data by "transfer to rubbish" option, it happens exactly
the same as I described above.
I later connected the usb stick in windows xp, and I found that the data I
wished to delete were still 'untouched' in a file named "Trash".
I hope you consider this report.
