Good afternoon Mepis Community, 
I noticed today... after some frustration that
the .trash folder resides on Removable Media
(yes i know, its only for whats deleted on the Media).
It would be more of a convenience to store
the Removable Media's trsh under "~home\.trash".
Typical Scenario:
User deletes file on Flash Disk to make room for files:
User still has no room:
User gets frustrated, with no idea why...???
(the .trash folder on the Flash Disk is storing the deleted files
that were deleted to make space!!!)
Hope this helps in the development for making Mepis more
user friendly, LOVE tO MEPIS... ALWAYS! 
Regards, Citux.

You can delete the files (shift delete) rather than sending them to trash !

hi critux, the problem with having a common .trash folder on a seperate drive is that a 'send to trash' then implies a slow copy rather than a quick move, and the destination drive with the common .trash folder might not have space for this....
