How are you deleting these files??? Did you try rm -rf
<filter here> - watch this command as you may delete
everything. If you delete in Konqueror by default it
puts files in Trash  if you hit Shift+Del it deletes
them from everywhere you can do the same at the
command line with rm -rf and remove all temporary
unneeded files etc. The files system is probably FAT
if it works on Windows as well as Linux.
