<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I'm using a Buffalo TeraStation HS-DHTGL/R5 2.10 as a external Backup Harddisk for my Server.<br />
The problem is that everyday the backup from 4 days before is not being deleted from the disk. Instead it is just moved into the trashbox where I have to check ervery day to delete it by hand. If I forget to check the harddisk is filling up in just a few days.<br />
Is ther any way to disable that trashbox function so that old backups will be really deleted?

How to disable trashbox function?

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
