<p>Thank you but that doesn't appear to fully answer my question
unless I am misreading it.</p>
<p>I have an album at I:\shared\docs_and_scanned. This directory
does contain a .dtrash folder with subfolders of "files" and
"info".</p>
<p>I cannot find an empty trash - like option in digiKam.</p>
<p>So, to delete the trash am I expected to just delete all the
files in the .dtrash folder manually in windows explorer? If I
want to permanently delete these files from my drive is it ok to
just delete the .dtrash folder when digiKam is not running or do I
have to leave the directory structure intact and just delete the
individual files? I sort of expected digiKam would have an inbuilt
option to delete the files I'd moved to trash.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I am running digiKam Version 7.1.0 on Windows 10.</p>
<p>When I select an image and hit delete it asks me whether
I want to move the image to the waste bin and I select
that.</p>
<p>The images do not end up in the Windows Recycle Bin and I
wondered where they'd gone.</p>
<p>On syncing my album with an external USB drive I see I
have loads of images in a .dtrash subfolder of the album.
I realise I can probably just delete the contents of the
.dtrash folder but I thought there must be a digiKam way
of emptying the trash but I can't seem to find it.</p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>
<p>Martin<br>
