What are the .trash directories i sometimes see?

Featured Replies

Most of my shares and directories don't have it, but i do sometimes see them, for example my Media share has it, but my Music share does not. What are they for, what do they do and i need them?

 

e.g .

Trash-99

Trash-1000

 

Thanks.

A docker or plugin creates those since I don't think they are native to Unraid. For example, my Calibre docker creates a Trash folder (but never uses it as far as I can tell).

If you ever find a .trashes directory, that's from a Mac user wandering your network. MacOS will leave one of those behind in every directory it touches. >:(

Not on my network - we have no Apple/Mac devices.

Could be that. I've been doing some experimenting and trying out a docker here and there.

 

Any idea if it's harmless to delete it? I presume it'll just re-create as/if/when it's needed.

Krusader?

I have used Krusader, so i guess if that's something Krusader does then it could well be it.

 

Do you know if i can delete it safely? I presume it'll just re-create it if it needs it again.

Deleting torrents from a Qbittorrent docker (this one) creates the infamous .Trash-99 folder, containing 2 folders:

  • Files: this folder contains the deleted torrents.
  • Info: this folder contains the same files but with *.trashinfo extension added at the end, although these files are very small (couple of hundred bytes).

These folders can't be access through samba because of lack of permissions but you can access them through Unraid web UI, using Dynamix File Manager. Isn't there a way to prevent these folders from being created or being deleted automatically?

 

Thanks.

Have you tried the second option of the Advanced options tabs in Qbittorrent settings page?
