.Trashes on android. Small question.

I read that this is created when you have your android hooked up to a mac and you have deleted files. .Trashes apparently stores those files. However, what I read was ambiguous. I'm guessing that .Trashes only stores what was deleted WHILE the android was hooked up to the mac, not everything that has ever been deleted on the mac. Am I right? This seems kind of obvious, but I want to be sure.
 
.Trashes is part of the Mac file system. What most people don't realize is you have to EMPTY the Trash while the card/phone is hooked up to really delete things.
If you don't then the files are still there but hidden. And you are right, it stores only what was deleted from the phone, not everything on the Mac.
 
what cradom said was spot on.

This app is more so for people who forget (i rarely empty the trash on mine) to empty the trash before removing the phone, or need to clear space up on the fly.
