I've just been doing some updates to my car .m4a music files.
I was going to transfer then from my old Windows XP machine (where my master files are kept (I use i-player to create the files) to my Zorin 12.1 Ultimate, Kratos laptop - which I would use to update the car USB sticks.
I put the update files onto the USB stick and copied them onto my Kratos laptop. I did a little editing on the Kratos. I then thought that I would delete all the old tracks on the stick (as it was nearly full) and then paste the new files into the same USB stick to go back to the Windows XP machine.
I couldn't delete the files - or I could, but they were replaced by a trash-1000 file of the same size (which resisted all attempts to remove it, including gksudo nautilus).
I had to use my old Windows XP desktop to get rid of the trash-1000 files on the original USB stick, delete the files from the car sticks and do the file transfers to the car sticks.
Surprisingly enough, the trash-1000 file reappeared when I put the original USB stick into my Zorin 12.1 laptop.
What it it with trash-1000 files and how do you remove them, please?
In desperation, I reformatted the USB stick in nautilus. After reformatting the USB stick had disappeared from nautilus. What is going on here? Will it remount the next time I put it in the laptop?
