no space freed when deleting files
Hello, please help!!
I connected my nokia n9 via usb to my laptop (linux), and deleted files (videos, music files). but then I saw that the respective space had not been freed. :( .. .... but when I transfered a file to my computer (cut'n paste) the storage was freed!!! so I know what (not) to do in the future, but how do I access the "lost" space? help is very much appreciated! PS: I found this thread but don't know whether it's a similar problem or how to transfer the solution https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2316 |
Re: no space freed when deleting files
When you just "delete" a file, it is moved to the trash. When your phone is connected over USB, it is moved to a trash volume on the phone itself. So no space is actually freed until the trash is emptied.

The trash folder (.Trash-1001) with the subfiles "files" and "info" are created when deleting a file via computer (USB). It's a hidden folder ! (hence the confusion). I deleted it for good and freed 4 GB... So I can only recommend to everyone running out of space to check the .trash..... files, as that can happen without being aware! |
