That's why I wrote "a few hours"; it's not a schedule, but is when I think to do it.

Nor does mine, but almost always the document is in TM before I put it in the trash. -- All usenet users are quirky, but some are more quirky than others.

In the example I cited way upthread, I got an email that my statement was ready, I downloaded the statement, copied data into spreadsheets, printed the pdf, and then trashed it. From email to trash wasn't more than a couple of hours. -- John Varela

Maybe he is formatting incorrectly. Full formats take a while. Quick
formats are fast.

Full formats take a while. Quick > formats are fast. reformatting is always quick. it clears the directory and files are gone. what is slow is when people zero all sectors, sometimes erroneously called 'low level format'. that's rarely needed. it just wastes time.

I tried it both ways, after I had inserted a USB drive and waited for it to mount. 1. Reformat -- 30 seconds a. Find Disk Utility in the dock and click b. Wait for Disk Utility to start and scan for drives c. Find USB memory drive in list (involved scrolling down because this system has eleven drives mounted.) d. Click on Erase tab e. Switch Format popup menu to "ExFAT" (most of my USB drives are FAT because I use them to exchange files with Windows users.) f. Click on Erase button g. Confirm desire to erase in dialog window ... and its done. 2. Erase/Empty Trash - 10 seconds a. Double click drive icon to open top-level directory. b. Select all files (usually just one directory) c. Command-Delete to erase all selected files. d. Select Empty Trash from File menu. ... and its done. My original post in this thread was in response to the question "What is the use case for emptying the trash on a single drive?" Now, I am being accused of using Trash as a storage place and not knowing how to format drives. I don't use the trash except to hold deleted files, and I know how to format drives. I also do not compulsively empty the trash frequently, as I see no need to do so. What I would like is a right-click menu option on a drive icon that will let me empty the trash on that drive only. I'm sorry if nobody (except John Varela) seems to understand why. -- Jim Gibson

That last is not a bad idea - but it still reinforces bad system
operation habits. You could try TrashTimer as Mezei suggests (I'm
trying it now).

You could try TrashTimer as Mezei suggests (I'm > trying it now). As I mentioned elsewhere, Path Finder allows you to empty the trash on only a given drive. Not free, or even that cheap (look for a bundle). But incredibly useful program in my experience.

That about age is a new one on me. And when did I solicit advice? At the start of this subthread I did say, "If there's a way to delete Trash on only one drive I'd like to know it." With one or two exceptions I didn't get an answer to the rhetorical question that wasn't even stated as a question. Instead, I got several jerks accusing me of maltreating my computer. > anyway, back then there was no trash. if you deleted a file, it was > *gone*. you had to be very careful on what you deleted. Back when? To me, "back when" was Hollerith cards and tape drives. I even used paper tape on ASR Teletype machines. The term "erase" didn't exist. I do recall in the TRS-80 and DOS days having undelete utilities, so I don't know what era you're talking about. Do you? > the same applies now. only put into the trash what you want to delete. > you did it then and you can do it now. When did I do it? We tossed paper tape into a trash basket when done.

Couldn't use the trash for storage becasue there was no trash. I used to sympathize with you when JR and others got on your case but no more. They are right: you are a damned fool.

Learn to read for > comprehension. i didn't make it up at all and several other people said the same thing. i don't know if it was you or someone else, but someone said they had several gigs of stuff in the trash and didn't want to empty it, thus the request to selectively empty it for just one volume. that very clearly means that the trash is being used for storage. the reality is that anything in the trash is not needed anymore, otherwise why put it there in the first place? therefore, there is no reason to selectively empty the trash only for one volume. empty the trash and be done with it. in the unlikely event you need a file that was trashed, pull it off a backup. time machine makes that very easy.

That was me. The reason I didn't want to do a global empty trash was because it would take too long, because I had several GBs in the trash on my boot drive. I was trying to give some files to a co-worker, and he was standing right there in my cubicle waiting for me. I didn't want to make him wait any longer than necessary. I also wanted to clean up the USB memory drive before giving it to him. A selective empty trash on the USB drive would have been the optimal solution for me in that situation. I WAS NOT USING TRASH FOR STORAGE! Got that? You really can be an idiotic, arrogant jerk at times. -- Jim Gibson
