<p>Cheers. That does answer my question.</p>
<p>I was looking for a empty trash type option and didn't realise
that digiKam adds a "Wastebin" option to the tree view in album as
I have hundreds of directories in this album.</p>
<p>So, just in case anyone else has this issue. To empty the
wastebin, select the albums view, select the album, scroll down to
the "Wastebin" item and select it, then you can see the deleted
files in the right pane and a) undo the last action or b) restore
any files you select c) permanently delete files.</p>
<p>You can also avoid putting deleted items in the wastebin and
delete them permanently by holding shift whilst deleting.</p>
<p>I did search the manual for this information but could not find
it searching with "trash" or "wastebin".<br>
</p>
<p>Thanks again Sabastian for the pointer.</p>

<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>
