Deleted file wont show in the trash

Hi, i'm new to Arch and english is not my native, so please bear with me
I've installed Arch with Gnome 3 into my ThinkPad T520 with following configuration:
SSD formatted partitionless with btrfs filesystem.
I created 10 subvolume to organize my files.
mount /dev/sda /mnt/hdd
btrfs subvol list /mnt/hdd
ID 260 gen 2317 top level 5 path _snapshots
ID 263 gen 3757 top level 5 path _arch
ID 264 gen 3757 top level 5 path _home
ID 281 gen 3491 top level 5 path _documents
ID 283 gen 3538 top level 5 path _vms
ID 284 gen 3293 top level 5 path _tugas_sd
ID 285 gen 3158 top level 5 path _pictures
ID 286 gen 3683 top level 5 path _music
ID 287 gen 3224 top level 5 path _videos
ID 288 gen 3506 top level 5 path _software
ID 430 gen 2338 top level 5 path _snapshots/arch-2014-04-05
Then mount that sobvolumes to directory inside my /home
cat /etc/fstab

All nice and well, except one thing. When i delete files originally locate in subvolumes but mounted to my /home, the files gone but not showing in the trash.
Instead, deleted files moved to hidden folder named .Trash-1000.
If that sound confussing, let me give an example, when i delete file from /home/iza then that file gone and showing up in the trash. But, when i delete a file from /home/iza/Documents then that file is gone but not showing in the trash but moved to /home/iza/Documents/.Trash-1000.
Is this a bug in btrfs or because my messy mountpoint/fstab?
Thanx

If you delete a file on a different partition; a .Trash-1000 (where the last part is your userid) directory is created (in the root of the partition); it will contain the file. Gnome should apparently traverse all partitions to merge all these files and show them in the 'Trash'; somehow that doesn't work. Can you check if a .Trash-1000 folder exists on all partitions you created? If they do, the problem is in Gnome not properly populating them.
The same issue is described here, without a solution unfortunately: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=40580 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=785512

I am trying to open space in my macbook hard drive, so I deleted files and after emptying the trash bin the amount of Gigs didn't increase, why? Where can I go and delete those files?

Did you do a secure empty trash? SHIFT COMMAND DELETE, they will be over wriiten. Are you deleting docs as they aren't much space, videos,pictures,music use much more space.
You can move those fiels to an external "archive" drive to save them then delete them from your internal drive.

When I move a file from the desktop to trash, the file only moves to the trash after I open the trash

So if I have a file on the desktop and I delete it, it makes the 'throwing it in the trash' sound but the trash can icon stays empty (if I don't already have something there) until I click on trash, and the file still appears to be on my desktop until I click the trash. If, after I've moved something to the trash, I then drag the file that seems to still be there around the desktop and drop it somewhere randomly, the file moves itself from the trash back onto the desktop! Can anyone help?
Thanks, Dan

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you have Time Machine setup to backup your hard drive? If so you can use it to recover the files.
If not you will need to use a file recovery application like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage. It lets you run the application to check the drive for files that can be recovered before having to purchase it. There are other similar applications out there also. You can go to VersionTracker.com and search for "file recovery" to get other possible apps.
There are recovery services that can do the job for you. They are pretty expensive but if you can't get the recovery application to work they are another option.
Try to use the computer as little as possible beforehand so you don't run the risk of overwriting the deleted files.

Can i ever get my photos back if i have deleted them and then emptied the trash?

can i ever get my photos back if i have deleted them and then emptied the trash?

Yes — just restore them from your backup.
No backup? This is why you need one. Now you know.
You may be able to recover some or all of your pictures, but not the structure of your iPhoto Library, using one of these data recovery utilities:
Data Rescue 3: http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
FileSalvage 7: http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id= 1
Both are offered in demo versions that will show you what the full version could recover before you have to pay for anything.

Hi, i have deleted accidentally some photos and the trash is empty. How can I recover them? Urgentlyyy

Which trash is empty? If it's the iPhoto trash, check the System Trash, as files deleted from iPhoto 11 go there. Assuming that's also empty then you have exactly two options:
1. Restore from your back up
or
2. Use a file recovery app such as File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

Deleting a single item from the trash.

Hello
Is there a way to delete a single item from the trash, while leaving all other items in the trash?

I don't believe so and I'm not sure why you would want to.
Items should not be placed in the Trash unless you intend to delete the items. The Trash is not designed for and should not be used as a temporary storage location.

Is the any way to totally delete a TV show from the iCloud?

Is the any way to totally delete a TV show from the iCloud?

No. TV Shows are kept in the cloud which is a different thing all together from iCloud. iCloud is your own personal strage space for backups and other App data. "the cloud" in the case of Tv shows and movies is in Apple's own media servers. So you can't simply delete a show from there.
This however means that the show in the cloud is not taking up space in your iCloud storage. As Axeman points out: you can Hide it, but you'll need a computer to do so.

None of my deleted files are showing in trash

I have deleted several files and there is nothing in the trash . I have not emptied the trash. I am running snow leopard PLEASE HELP TY

How are you deleting the files? If, for instance, you delete photos from iPhoto they will not show up in your Finder's Trash until you select Empty iPhoto Trash from the iPhoto menu.
Best of luck.

Finder shows deleted files until I reopen the folder

Hi,
I am having a problem in finder after I updated to Maverick (10.9)
Say; I have 3 files in a folder and I delete the first file, Finder still shows all 3 files. But when I open the first one in an app it opens the second one because the first one is already deleted.
I go back to previous folder in finder and come back, then the deleted file disappear and I see 2 files left. This is really annoying.
Is there a solution for that?
Thanks.

Thanks a lot.
I tried to delete plist files as you wrote but there were no such files under that directory. So I deleted them using terminal as described on that page;

But it didn't help.
Same problem continues.

I deleted all my music files and then emptied the trash.. I didn't know that I wouldn't be able to play those songs in iTunes anymore.

I deleted my music files and then emptied my trash bin and later realized that I can't play the songs in iTunes anymore if the files are delted. Is there anyway I can recover all the files?

1) If you bought them from Apple you canprobably download them again.
2) If you back up your computer as you should, they will be on the backup.
3) If you stop using your computer this instant (because as you use the computer it overwrites deleted files even if you have lots of space), buy recovery software ($100+), there is a chance you can recover some of them, though they may have lost filenames and will be in quite a mess.

Deleted files still showing/opening in MS Excel

Hi
I have 6 files in MS excel that were deleted from my docs in finder and I did secure empty of the trash. However, the files still appear and can be opened in excel. I tried searching for them by file name but can't seem to locate where excel is hiding them on my MacBook Air. I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and Microsoft Office for Mac 2011.
Any Suggestions?
Thanks

Red Dwarf - Thanks for the reply, the files were not in emails and i was not able to get the yellow box but you gave me another idea. I added a footer to the document with the path name to see where it was and discovered that it was saving it as a template. So after more searching I was able to find a solution on an office support page which I have shared below. Thanks
In the Finder, open /Users/ username/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/My Templates.
NOTE If you are using Mac OS X 7 (Lion), the Library folder is hidden by default. To show the Library folder, in the Finder, click the Go menu, and then hold down OPTION .
Drag the templates that you want to delete to the Trash.

Deleted files do not go to trash can

i.e. when i delte a file, it is gone forever. I cannot restore it since I see no files in trash can.
Also, installed windows on bootcamp, but does not detect cd rom driver.
Anyone know why?

1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu. An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.

Deleted files don't appear in trash

When I drag files to trash they are deleted from the folder, but don't appear in trash. Is there some setting that has changed so the trash is emptied immediately?

Hi and welcome to  discussions.
You are probably aware that the external drive needs to be connected and showing in order to empty whatever has been deleted from it.
Deleting something via Finder should add crumpled paper to the trash icon.
However deleting from within some applications does not put the deleted file in the Desktop's trash can. iPhoto is an example of this, so using this as an example you would need to 'empty the trash' from within iPhoto or relevant application to get rid of it.
