[QUOTE="growlgrowl, post: 762320, member: 58154"] This is what I think happens... the file you delete from your hard-drive appears in your desktop trash while the h-d is still connected. When you empty the trash with the h-d still connected the file is deleted. if you disconnect the h-d without emptying the trash, the trashed file no longer appears there and emptying the trash does not delete the file. When you reconnect the h-d the file still appears in the desktop trash. Grrrr [/QUOTE]
