If you want to keep it (it's a safety net) you need to make sure you're not scanning the folder containing the trash bin. This may mean that you need to use a sub-folder for your media on the NAS and only have it scanned.

That's exactly what it is.

Buffalo provides a brief description of it and how to disable it here:

I am... is it just the "Recycle Bin" on the NAS? It's a Buffalo TeraStation.

It's not a MediaMonkey folder. Are you working with files on a NAS?

What IS 'trashbox', anyway?

So I'm working through organizing my music collection, and I keep finding what looks like duplicates of some music. When I look at the properties, it tells me that the dupes are in the "trashbox" folder, and eventually it adds this stuff back to my library.

What is "trashbox"?

How do I get rid of it, or get it to quit getting added to my library?

Why are there files there? Right now, I see 2.5 GB of files. That's roughly 4% of the 64 GB or so of music that I have. I want it to be zero. I don't know what the files are doing in there, but when I get rid of music, I want it to totally delete it from the library and the computer, which is the option I choose.

Lastly, can I just empty the folder? I don't need space at the moment, but what keeps this thing from growing more?
