[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1909816, member: 396914"] I gave a link to an article on how to make hidden visible. The Trash can is also a hidden file that you can see using the trash can on the Dock, but only when the drive is actually mounted. Basically, there is a hidden file on the drive that the system opens when the drive mounts to show what's in the trash on that drive. If you unmount the drive without emptying the trash, that file stays there. But because the drive is unmounted, the Trash Can on the Dock no longer shows the files in the trash on that drive, just on drives that are attached. [/QUOTE]
