trash cans

Lately I have been moving files back and forth from one flash drive to another, with lots of deleting of some files. The annoying side of it all is the trash can is full about every three files.

Is there any way to increase the size of the can so it wont complain so often. Or even turn that annoying feature off.

Hi
Hold the shift key+delete key that will remove them directly.

You can also create the hidden directory as a file and it will delete
direct, eg;


rm -r .Trash-1000
touch .Trash-1000

or whatever the existing trash name is…
