      Just a quick question.

      In Windows, you delete a file and it dumps to the recycle bin, then need to empty that else eats up your space.

      For my RetroPie, from my Win7 PC I look at network connections, I see retropie in the list, I click and go into where the roms are where I am able to copy/paste over my files to the Pi via WiFi.

      I can also delete files that way, but when I do, are the files gone? or is there some kinda trash bin I need to empty? or run something to clear those files out?

        @THRobinson They should be "gone" just like when you delete from any network drive.

          Thanks.

          I do it that way for my media server, which also runs Win7 and the files are gone, but having never used a RaspPi before I just wanted to double check. :D
