The problem is that Linux systems in general seem to have a problem sometimes with mounting a flash drive or SD card, but only after they have been used in another device, such as a smartphone or a non-Linux system.
I put a large music collection on a new SD card, for listening while I
am
outdoors walking, but when I went to change some of the items, now I
find
that my Linux system refuses to mount the drive. The same has happened with fat32 flash drives.
This does not happen with other hard drives, such as an external hard drive that is formatted NTFS; only with fat32 flash drives or (I
forget
the filesystem here) SD cards.
Also I believe that smartphones can really mess up the data on SD
cards,
as I had a lot of weirdness there. For example: a folder for one
artist
was instead filled with music from an entirely different artist. This could not have been a mistake on my part, as I have the originals, all tidy and organized, and the contents of the flash drive were first organized on a folder that resides in my desktop computer. Thus all I need to do is copy the contents of that folder to my SD card.
It is only when I tried to copy the contents of that SD card to
another
location, then suddenly everything got messed up.
So I believe that Kate might be onto something there, that formatting with Linux first could eliminate some of that mess.

Looks like this is complints about FAT32 are not the cause of my observations. Please see the attached screenshot: upper half of windows uses system:/media/sdb and shows the describes malfuncions (i.e.: <del>
not
working, no autorefresh), the lower half shows the very device but where it's mounted in the filesystem as /media/toshiba and there it works as expected (i.e.: <del> working and autorefresh working).
So this is definitly a TDE problem. Is there a way to get rid of "system:/media/" and just use the real mountpoint instead?

Ok I just checked out all the media* options and delete appears in all of them. What distro are you using. Try using a live CD and see what happens.
Which mount helper do you use? I have udisks2 here. I think I did not see
that problem when I had pmount (but that had a different set of problems which I dislike more than that missing <del>.
Nik
I don't have pmount installed. I've attached a img of all the "mount" related items I have installed.
