Description benjamin 2012-01-31 15:08:24 UTC
Description of problem:

When moving files from an USB stick to the trash bin and emptying the trash bin afterwards free space on the stick doesn't increase as it should. The deleted files are moved to .trash-1000 on the device and this folder doesn't get deleted even when unmounting the device.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

3.2.1

How reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. move files to trash on a mounted USB stick using the right click menu
2. check free space and see that it doesn't increase after deleting files and emptying the trash
3. find folder .trash-1000 or similar on the stick
  

Expected results:

Delete files and remove trash folders on the mounted devices

I have the same issue. 
This bug affect a very used operation on usb stick (a.k.a. pendrive), a not-power-user will find some problems because free space will decrease until 0, also after deleting all files.

Comment 2 Paolo Leoni 2012-06-04 09:42:31 UTC
If external device is formatted on ext4 or ext3, deleted filed are correctly shown and moved on system trash. 
Problem appear only with NTFS or FAT external device.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 18:40:32 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 22:48:23 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
