Hi Chris,
I think Anne answered this a couple of months earlier. I'll paste in her
answer:

I don't know anything about that other operating system, but on the Mac,
if you empty the trash before disconnecting the device, those hidden files
should disappear and the space will be freed up. I always do this with my
Milestone and any USB drives.
<end quote>
If you're really annoyed by these files you can buy a BlueHarvest4
license:

I've never used this myself, but you can download the free trial and then
spring for a $13.95 single user license if you wish.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

OK, this is driving me bonkers! Is there not a way to shut this off?
Every time I insert a USB thumb/Flash drive, or my NLS cartrage etc. into
my macbook, OSX just totally! insists on making 3 folders on the drive:
.fseventsd
.Spotlight-V100
and .Trashes
I know the folders are extremely little in size and unharmful, but
they're getting in my way! Especially being I use some of these drives
both on windows and on the Mac.
Is there not a way to have the mac not auto create those?
Chris.
