Help - where's the trash?!
Hi,
I could be being unbelievably thick but....
I have an Acer Aspire One with Linux Lite & no matter how much I delete old files the memory doesn't seem to go down. I can't find a trash can or recycle bin anywhere but I've noticed that when I delete things from USB drives the available memory on my netbook actually decreases. It says it's sending things to the trash but I can't find any way to completely get rid of them!
Thanks,
Jo

Do you see a Settings section? If so, click on that, open File Manager, and locate the Trash folder.
