Recovered Files from iWeb

Question

Each time, after making minor changes to a web page and uploading it to my .mac account, there will appear in my trash, the next time I log on, a "Recovered files" folder with anywhere from five to one-hundred and fifty recovered files, each related to my web pages. One time, after revamping my photo collection, there were over 1,900 recovered files.
Why doesn't the iWeb application eliminate these files automatically?
Why must I empty the trash manually to get rid of these?
Why isn't Apple, the manufacturer of my computer and the software involved, doing a better job?
Do you find this happening to you or am I the only one?

Cédric,
You're right of course, emptying electronic trash is not a hard or bothersome task. However, I'm neat, not anal compulsive mind you, but neat. I put away files, I turn off the volume, and before I shut down the computer for the day, I empty the trash. In fact, I always do a secure empty trash. So when I come back to the computer I expect it to be clean and ready for my new day. The trash in the can always niggles at me, "I emptied that," I say to myself. "Am I losing my mind?"
This computer is like a borderline employee, one who isn't bad enough to dismiss, but never gets it quite right either. It always seems like there is unfinished business I must take care of because someone else didn't pull their weight. Perhaps it's gremlins or fairies living in the ether of the turned off state leaving behind their party favors. There's a party somewhere and I wasn't invited.
As Jack Kornfeld said, "After the ecstasy, the laundry." So it is. - Fabe
