Downloading from FTP with Filezilla; The HDD got full so I transferred as
many files as possible to 3x 32Gb USB sticks - The sticks are showing
that they now contain around 29.5Gb, but the free space on the HDD is
only showing about 5Gb - I did try emptying the trash folder, but no
result there.

Probably if the transfer fails, it doesn't remove the files from the source.
It wants to make SURE the files on the stick are safe before removing the
old ones. That makes good sense!

It seemed to work OK till the HDD got full, since the problem started;
I've been careful to make sure I'm paying attention when I click "move"
and not "copy", and I double checked that the top bar says "moving".

This looks a lot like a bug in Lubuntu!

Thanks for any help.

I think just about everything in Linux only half works.

Well, while there have been a few issues over the years, I've been using
some version of Linux as my main desktop for almost 20 years! I also have a
number of devices that are run by PCs (or Beagle Bones) running Linux.
My family is almost exclusively running Linux for general email, web
browsing, writing papers for school, etc.

Works for me.
