Hidden files in trash directory?

[Dr. Jeffrey Race]

Don't forget to check (from DOS, since it doesn't appear in the
folder list) the DROPBOX directory.  Crud accumulates there and
must be manually deleted (at least on the old version I am
running--I don't dare upgrade yet due to all the insect reports
on the later versions).

Kind regards,
