[QUOTE="VeritasCCT, post: 243974, member: 15139"] Hello, I've owned my PB since March and I'm still learning the ins and out of OSX. My problem is when I use a thumbdrive or external HD and I delete info off of it the item goes away, but it really just hides itself. It goes into ".trashes" Which still takes up as much space as it did before I delete it. So in order to get my space back on that drive I have to re-format the whole thing. Is there a way to delete things permenetly from harddrives, thumbdrives? And how? Also I haven't noticed if it does the samething with my internal harddrive, but something tells me that it does. Please help and inlighten me. I love Mac and will never go back! Jared [/QUOTE]
