Public bug reported: Ubuntu version: Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS Nautilus version: 1:3.36.3-0ubuntu1.20.04.1
Overview: Nautilus appears to move files to Trash when deleting files, regardless of what drive it happens on. This threw me off for a bit as I never expected deleted files to be moved into trash on a USB drive, I expected it to permanently delete. Expected behaviour: After moving to Trash, when I empty the Trash, it should actually empty and reclaim storage space. Actual behaviour: When emptying Trash, the entire USB drive turns read-only. This happened regardless of what USB drive I tested. The Trash, also, doesn't actually get emptied. Trying to delete the `.Trash-1000` folder in Terminal shows that it is indeed read-only file system. Thinking it was corrupted I put the USB drive in my MacBook Pro and it works there. Deleted `.Trash-1000` on the MBP and now it works. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1951686 Title: USB drives turns read-only when emptying Trash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1951686/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
