Thank you, @taixzo!!! you're right!

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!
