osx mp3 player help

Hey UNIX Saviors,
I am not very familiar with unix commands so I need some detailed help please. I have a RCA Lyra MP3 player that is supposed to work as a drag and drop external drive when transferring my MP3's.

In OSX, the problem is that when I delete the MP3 from the mounted drive it deletes the files but doesn't free up any space on the drive so I can replace the MP3's. When I check the drive out on my Wintel machine the files are being moved to the Trash folder on the drive. I can delete the files from the Windows machine. In OSX, I am unable to view or delete from this Trash folder.

I believe that I could access this invisible Trashes folder using the Terminal but I don't know Unix well enough to do this. I would like to be able to delete these files right from my MAC so I don't have to plug the player into the Wintel box to delete and then go back to my Mac to upload the MP3's.

Can anyone give me the exact commands to follow to access this Trashes folder and delete the files?
Thanks in advance for you time and effort!
Dave

NAME
libmtp - The object management API. Functions int LIBMTP_Delete_Object (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t *, uint32_t) int LIBMTP_Set_Object_Filename (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t *, uint32_t, char *) Detailed Description Function Documentation int LIBMTP_Delete_Object (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t *device, uint32_tobject_id) This function deletes a single file, track, playlist, folder or any other object off the MTP device, identified by the object ID. If you delete a folder, there is no guarantee that the device will really delete all the files that were in that folder, rather it is expected that they will not be deleted, and will turn up in object listings with parent set to a non-existant object ID. The safe way to do this is to recursively delete all files (and folders) contained in the folder, then the folder itself. Parameters: device a pointer to the device to delete the object from. object_id the object to delete. Returns: 0 on success, any other value means failure. References LIBMTP_mtpdevice_struct::params. int LIBMTP_Set_Object_Filename (LIBMTP_mtpdevice_t *device, uint32_tobject_id, char *newname) THIS FUNCTION IS DEPRECATED.
