When attempting to access a directory on the FAT filesystem using nautilus,
if a typo is incurred while attempting to input the name of the directory,
Nautilus will create a secondary folder with the new wrongly inputted name
in the subtree.

When this happens, it's too easy to believe you've made a copying mistake,
delete the tree, and have all files in the filesystem tree deleted,

I've noticed this bug has been reported in the past, and that on the
bug-page it was mentioned that if this bug were to show up again to e-mail
the list.

Hopefully somebody who knows more of Nautilus than I can take a quick look
at it?
