Deleting files on a USB drive.
Hi,
I have this USB-based 160GB Seagate hard drive that is formated in NTFS and used as storage space both in my Linux (Fedora 7) and WinXP Sp2.
When I installed Fedora, I never needed to mount this device as it got directly recognised + mounted by the OS itself.
However, when I delete a certain file, or folder on the USB drive when I'm using Linux, it appears to be deleted, but once I boot in my Windows, the deleted files are still present on the drive, put in a ".Trash_username" folder, so I need to remove them once again, this time from Windows.
What I basically want to do is to make these files get permanently deleted even when I delete them from Linux and don't want them to reappear in a Windows-visable-only folder above.
Is there an enforce mount command or something else that can do this?
Thanks in advance.
