Thank you but that doesn't appear to fully answer my question unless I 
am misreading it.

I have an album at I:\shared\docs_and_scanned. This directory does 
contain a .dtrash folder with subfolders of "files" and "info".

I cannot find an empty trash - like option in digiKam.

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.
