Someone with a Ubuntu system told me about a situation that's similar to yours: If he deletes a file from his USB flash drive through Gnome he sees exactly what you see. He told me that if he opens a terminal window and does a ls -a on the flash drive he discovers a .trash directory. Deleting that frees up the space that he expects to see. -- MELVILLE THEATRE ~ Melville Sask ~ http://www.melvilletheatre.com
