Issue:
# Hidden trash files in /mnt/us/.Trashes/501 fill storage and cause errors.
Solution:
1. Using KOReader Terminal:
# - Open KOReader → Tools → More Tools → Terminal Emulator → Open Terminal Session
# - Run command:
rm -rf /mnt/us/.Trashes/*
(This will delete everything in the hidden trash folder, for example, I had around 900MB of book data that had not properly been removed)
2. Using USB (no SSH):
# - Connect Kindle to your computer
# - Enable viewing hidden files (Cmd+Shift+. on Mac)
# - Navigate to /.Trashes/501
# - Delete all files/folders inside
# - Safely eject and reboot Kindle
Optional: Check what large files are actually on Kindle storage:
du /mnt/us | sort -rn | head -n 20
Result:
# Clears trash, frees space, and restores plugin functionality.
hope this helps!
