Bug Description
I'm sick and tired of finding that my digital camera card is full after deleting
all the pictures, and my iAudio still plays deleted files.
This is because instead of deleting files from removal devices, Nautilus creates
a .Trash-$USER directory and moves the files into there.
Can we please make the default be to _not_ do this? It makes (some) sense for
the main drive, but removable ones tend to be "temporary" storage. A better
alternative would be to remove the files from the removable device and into the
user's home directory .Trash

BTW you can use shift-del to delete without using the trash.
