This isn't as off-topic as it sounds: How do I delete files off an external drive?
Let's say the drive is full. So I delete some files to make room. these files disappear in Nautilus, but are not really gone, because I do not get any more free space on that drive. If I use 'safely remove' or 'eject', I cannot use the drive afterwards, because I have no free space on it. The files I deleted still use up the space. I cannot see them, but they are 'in the trash'. The only way I know to really free this space on an external drive is to use 'unmount'. On 'unmount' Nautilus will ask me if i want to delete the trash. 'safely remove' and 'eject' will not do that. So I think that even the most non-technical users will need 'unmount' if they ever want to free some space on their drive. A better solution would of course be, if 'safely remove' and 'eject' would be merged to one command and that that command would also clear the trash. -- Context menu for an USB pendrive shows "Unmount", "Eject" and "Safely Remove Drive" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/453072 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
