(you mean if I don't want the files in the trash?)

So even though I don't see the .trash files('hidden' files?) anywhere but the Mac HD, and even though the only way I know to put things in the trash is through the dock icon, those files are copied by sd but hidden and reside on the back up drives or do they reside on the back up drives only if and when I remove them from the trash?

Whatever the location of those files, if I choose to delete them, does that affect the original folders and applications? (these include users)

Thanks, again. and again.
