You must add uid=1000 and gid=1000 to resolve this problem. Change the FSTAB file like shown below.
/dev/sdb1 /media/SONGS vfat defaults,users,umask=000,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 1 /dev/sdb5 /media/BACKUP vfat defaults,users,umask=000,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 1 /dev/sdb3 /media/FILES40NEW vfat defaults,users,umask=000,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 1 Save the file and restart the computer. Create a folder called .Trash-1000 in the root of these partitions. Now, when you delete a file from these VFAT partitions, the files will move to Trash directly. reference http://ubuntuissues.wordpress.com/2008/06/19/cannot-move-files-to-trash/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192629 Title: "Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?" on NTFS / VFAT partitions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
