Try it with a little file on your external media.. You'll find out that
the file is also deleted instead of moved on the RB.

On my knowledge, Windows don't move deleted file on a
removable media. It deleted right amay. Windows move files
to the RB for internal disc or volume.. Allowing undelete action.
Also, if you delete file on a volume mounted for a folder of another
computer on the LAN, Windows will also really deleted it because
this external volume is also considered to be a 'removable' media.

On a Mac computer, depending on the trash options, it always move
deleted files on a trash folder whatever it is a local volume or it is a
USB key or any removable media..

So, any comments on this? Maby someone else may say more on that.
I'm always open to learn more...
