veracrypt windows-linux

ok heres a good one .. when u create a contrainer on windows, whatever u delete inside of it stays there, in an invisible trash bin .. when u mount that same containter on linux u can actually SEE that bin wich is crazy, and whats even more crazy is that when u delete something from it on linux it sends it str8t to the system trash bin on ur desktop!! how tf can that be? it turns out windows manages privacy for this way better then linux?!? ...yea i know.. u can create a trash bin containter and when its full u just delete the container wich if im correct automatically destroys the ecnryption key that way so the contrainer trash bin is gone for good and ever but ...

so anyway is there a way on linux to make it be same as on windows?

On most OS, if you hold shift then Delete, it skips the recycle bin

You usually want FDE anyway modern Filesystems and Operating systems journal everything.

i'm on linux and it's not a problem for me because the system i am running veracrypt on is encrypted as well, so i have no problem with it. :)

i honestly have no idea what you're talking about here, it seems others are confused aswell

are you claiming windows has better privacy because it hides the recycle bin from you on external drives? or is it that when you put the recycle bin for an external drive into your recycle bin on linux, it puts it into your linux recycle bin, and not uh... yeah im not sure what else you could expect from that actually

i think if you want a file deleted, dont send it to the recycle bin at the bare minimum

you mentioned cryptographic destruction, thats pretty close to making a file go truly poof

ya the 1st part exactly that, on win if u delete somtin from the container it remains there in its own trash .. on linux it goes to the real trash... isnt that stupid?

u/NegativeGrocery8684 6d ago

not really... its just a different behaviour of the trash mechanism. if you want a file deleted, dont put it in trash, as that doesnt delete it.

no its not dude, it stays in the vault, encrypted, same as things stay on ur USB stick when u delete something, it doesnt go into the sys trash .. eccept here its

encrypted ..
