External drive trash handling
Currently if you delete a file on a removable drive, it is moved to the trash on that drive. Then when you unmount we offer whether to empty the trash or not. The main problem is that it's annoying to prompt someone every time, even when the trash is very small. There are also privacy concerns about leaving trashed files on removable drives.
Alternatives might include one or more of:
- Don't have trash on removable drives - always permanently delete
- Prompt whether to permanently delete when trashing something on a removable drive
- Prompt to empty the trash when ejecting, but only when the trash is taking up a certain amount of space
