NAS trashbox

I have three Buffalo NAS drives on my LAN.
All have drive letters assigned.

When I copy overwrite from Win XP to the NAS only one of the NAS drives
puts the original files into the trashbox.

The app doing the copy only copies.

The drive that does this is a LS220DC8F.

I did not know that was happening until I wondered why the drive free
space diminished significantly.

Seems that when I did a shift-delete it actually used the trashbox
folder a a Recycle Bin; this in addition to the copy overwrite problem.

Suggestions to NOT put original files in the trashbox during a copy
overwrite or shift-delete please.

I include Win XP and Win 7 newsgroups because I also have Win 7 PC and
do not know if that makes any difference.

Are you using any sort of software that maintains
Previous Versions ? I didn't think anything
like that worked on Shares, but I don't have
the Shares experience to know for sure. But certainly
if you have some third-party software installed,
anything is possible.

Years ago, there were things called DNAS, which
treated the NAS as a directly connected disk.
To use it, each client machine needed a custom
driver to be installed (which was a major
disadvantage of DNAS). For example, maybe
your Linux machine couldn't connect to one
of them. But a design like that, might allow
actual Trash Bin behavior.
