- snazz 7y agoAnd the .Trashes, which always manage to make my camera SD card full even after “deleting” everything. I’m not sure that there is a good solution to this other than to always use permanent deletion on removable volumes, like I think Windows does.

The Trash is represented by a ".Trashes" directory on removable media. You can delete it manually or just empty the trash.
- snazz 7y agoMy point is: Joe Average takes some photos with his camera, finds that he’s out of space on his SD card, pops it into his MacBook to transfer over a couple of good photos and delete the rest, and when he plugs it back into the camera it’s still full. Finder doesn’t show anything, and neither does the camera’s image review function. I don’t think that looking to empty the Trash is an intuitive next step, since it seems to me that the Trash wouldn’t be on the SD card.
- LeoPanthera 7y agoJoe Average uses the Photos app, or the Image Capture app, which moves the files and doesn't trash them in the first place. Joe Average probably doesn't even know what a "file" is.

- ken 7y agoMaybe it could be, now, with snapshots.
- klodolph 7y agoThis is configurable, like Thumbs.db in Windows.
- bobbylarrybobby 7y ago.DS_Store isn't part of the file system per se, it's part of Finder's operation.
