[svlug] oops, undoing rm on a sub-dir on Acomdata external HD

[Brandon Trussell]

When I delete files from an external drive, using nautilus, it moves them to
a .Trash directory at the root of the mount point.

Ex:
If the drive is mounted at /media/disk, there is a hidden folder created
there by the file explorer called, .Trash.  All files deleted from that
drive are moved to that directory.  Then, as you mentioned, when I umount
the drive, nautilus ask if it should empty the trash.  Hopefully, you should
be able to find your files in .Trash at the root of the mount point.
