Trash files from removable media
With removable media such as USB keys, because you tend to transfer files rather frequently, you can end up with a lot of unnecessary clutter. Curb helps you clean up all the mess on any removable devices.
This nifty little application works very easily. Just drag and drop your removable media onto the interface and Curb will take care of removing the trash. A little progress bar will appear, showing you what you are erasing. Curb includes Secure Remove, of which you can select several options: single pass, 7 pass, 35 pass or zero out blocks after overwriting. Generally single pass is enough to safely remove all your trash, however if you are worried about your privacy you should turn to one of the other options.
Curb is really a great trash removal program, not only because of its simplicity but also thanks to the Secure Remove feature. In a sense, it's a shame that it's only built for removable media, as I'm sure it would also come very handy as a normal removal tool.
Curb is a simple, drag and drop trash removal tool for USB, with a good Secure Remove feature.

BRILLIANT ALTERNATIVE TO TRASH WHEN IT COMES TO CLEANING USB!.
THIS APPLICATION IS AMAZING!!
I highly recommend it to anyone who is having frustrating issues with emptying out your USB flash drive on the Macs "Trash" App(it truly is garbage). I love Apple but they seriously have got to fix this!! Curb is incredibly simple and free! Literally all you have to do is drag your USB in the App.. then BOOM! Even cleans your USB faster than "Trash" ever would.

Do we need this?.
Is this app necessary?No USB stick should accumulate deletions. So:Plug a USB stick into your Mac, open the Terminal, and delete the .Trashes directory. Replace it with an empty .Trashes file.cd /Volume/<usb name>
rm -R .Trashes
touch .TrashesThe file called .Trashes prevents OS X from creating a new .Trashes directory. Any Move to Trash operations from the Finder will therefter result in true deletions.--
