[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1596850, member: 42497"] Same as Windows. It is necessary to empty the Trash whilst the external drive is connected and mounted. Suggest with the WD external connected and mounted, go into Disk Utility, select the external and format. This will wipe the drive clean. If going to a Mac user, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and to Windows user format MS-DOS. [/QUOTE]
