Only two years of email and many scanned pictures.  (recovered some with
scalpel).  The problem was that my backup drive was mounted and it took
that out as well -- lesson learned!

If my memory serves me, this thumb drive should have had a few WIN7
directories and files.  There were about 6 of them.  Don't know if there
were hidden files or not.

like chinese/accents/etc ?

Answer: None that I know of

> Were there some links inside the trash (links shouldn't be followed of
course, but ...) ?

Answer: Could have been.  But, this was the third thumb drive that I had
mounted and I deleted files from the first two OK that I remember.   The
first two thumbs contained files from Ubuntu copies, etc.  I have used
them a lot in the last two weeks.  The third thumb drive (256MB) is not
used much of all.  In fact, the contents could have been a  year old and
last mounted on a WIN7 system.

So, before the third drive was inserted in the USB, the .trash should
have been empty.
