To the OS, be it Windows or Mac OS X, the kind of device you store things on (let's except CDs and DVDs from this) doesn't matter.

PS: When I delete data of my USB flash memory thumb drive I simply press SHIFT+OPTION+CMD+BACKSPACE to empty the Trash, when I delete files to make room for other data.

One has to hold down the SHIFT key in Windows, if one wants to delete a file or folder without going via Trash. Have you looked into Time Machine yet? And if we are indeed talking about a USB flash memory thumb drive, isn't its primary use to be a transfer medium and NOT a storage medium? I never used a USB flash memory thumb drive to just store a file, when no other copy of it existed elsewhere, unless it was a file I wouldn't be sad about losing.ītw, if we are talking about a USB flash memory thumb drive, there was a similar topic a while ago, where the OP was frustrated, that s/he had to empty the Trash all the time, and pissed at Mac OS X, that it would not delete the dat without going via Trash, assuming Windows would do it that way, which it doesn't as a standard.

You seem to want Mac OS X to automatically empty the Trash of a USB flash memory thumb drive (probably, though USB can be used to connect a plethora of peripherals), so that there is always enough capacity to store something on it, but you also want to recover data you might have deleted from that USB device.
