[QUOTE="gozi323, post: 952727, member: 133608"] I connect my Iomega external HDD to my MBP that runs snow leopard. I noticed whenever i delete any files from any jump drive, thumb drive, external HDD it doesn't vanish from the drive but instead it stays hidden and still takes up space. In the past i connect the drive to my PC and delete these hidden files and folders. That is quite inconvenient so i was wondering if anyone knows how to delete these hidden files on a Mac without having to use a PC?? Thanks in advance. P.S. i have tried searching for the solution on google but i couldn't find what i was looking for. ;D [/QUOTE]
