There were no pictures on it, but I couldn’t shoot my usual 202 images anymore either. And being used to that number for a while now, it’s kind of hard to settle for 70-something.

So … I started looking …

Turns out, that unlike Windows where when you delete files from an external device it most of the time isn’t sent to you trash, in OSX it always ends up there.

Meaning all I had to do to get all of my 202 “spaces” back, was take a picture so there was at least one on the memory stick. Then connect it to my laptop, delete that picture from the memory card and right after empty my trash. And after both deleting and emptying unmount the digital camera.

Et vwalla ;) …
