Unable to find or create trash directory - T1125P - 07-17-2014 I keep getting this error now in v1.0.6 I'm trying to delete files off my USB stick, it's formatted with the exFAT file system. If I hold down SHIFT+DEL the error comes up but the file is gone. Is there a way to fix this? Another thing, how to disable automount, I don't want to have my USB stick or eternal harddrive opening the contents as soon as it's plugged in. Thanks. Re: Unable to find or create trash directory - Scott(0) - 07-18-2014 Hi T1125P, Do you see a hidden trash folder like this one on the root of the usb drive? Here's a picture. Note: To see hidden files while in the Thunar file manager go to View > Show Hidden Files Re: Unable to find or create trash directory - T1125P - 07-18-2014 Just plugged it in again. Nope it's all blank. I also clicked show hidden files, still blank. (thanks for that tip as well!) Re: Unable to find or create trash directory - Scott(0) - 07-18-2014 If you create a trash folder it may fix the problem. The name of the folder is like you see it .Trash-xxxx (note the dot before the uppercase T) but the xxxx will need to correspond to the user id. Here's a picture. So the User ID is 1001 and corresponds to the folder name .Trash-1001 in the first picture. If this doesn't work see the link below for more ideas. ~Scott credit to source: http://askubuntu.com/questions/262817/unable-to-find-or-create-trash-directory Re: Unable to find or create trash directory - T1125P - 07-18-2014 Thanks a lot, my user ID is 1000. I will try that in a bit and report back Re: Unable to find or create trash directory - T1125P - 07-18-2014 It worked! Thanks a lot. I just did as you said and made a trash folder now my files delete as they should Re: Unable to find or create trash directory - Scott(0) - 07-18-2014 You're welcome. Always nice to hear about success!  8) Re: Unable to find or create trash directory - T1125P - 07-19-2014 Thank you! I also made the folder hidden in my Win 7 PC so I don't delete it by accident
