      You can’t (actually you CAN with Thumbs.db but you wouldn’t want to).

      Those files are put on every drive by Windows for a good reason.

      RECYCLER is where your Recycle Bin files are saved.

      Thumbs.db caches any thumbnails of picture files for quick access.

      Just leave ‘em alone, they do no harm.

      I had a lot of Thumbs.db files on an external drive, from back when I used to use Windows. I got rid of them with this command:

      find . -type f -name "Thumbs.db" -exec shred -f -v -z -u -n 11 {} \;

      Yeah, I’m paranoid enough to use shred instead of rm. And no, this is not intended as instructions for how YOU should get rid of those files, just how I did it.
