It's not great, but I have found a way of correcting this problem if creating a .Trash-$USER doesn't work, or if it's too late to try that. If you install amarok you can right click on your ipod file list and select "repair ipod->scan for orphaned and missing files". This will create a list of files which you can then delete permenantly from the ipod to create more space.
This is a very frustrating bug, as I only noticed it when I completely ran out of space- i.e. at a point when you can't really do anything to correct the problem. Whilst it might be meant to create a trash folder and move the file there, I found that it just removed the entry in the ipod database. -- [feisty] deleting a song from the ipod only updates the database https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96669 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
