Hi there,

have seen this error one time today:

```auto
2022-01-11T01:02:01.765Z ERROR pieces:trash emptying trash failed {"error": "pieces error: filestore error: readdirent config/storage/trash/ukfu6bhbboxilvt7jrwlqk7y2tapb5d2r2tsmj2sjxvw5qaaaaaa/kj: no such file or directory", "errorVerbose": "pieces error: filestore error: readdirent config/storage/trash/ukfu6bhbboxilvt7jrwlqk7y2tapb5d2r2tsmj2sjxvw5qaaaaaa/kj: no such file or directory

```

“Emptying trash” does not sound severe… But I do not find this error somewhere here in the forum (“pieces error: filestore error: readdirent”).

Can I ignore “pieces:trash” errors?

Thx for your expertise.

trash is pretty unimportant 90+% of the time… but errors like that would certainly make me take a closer look at the node.

i see the new windows version just released today… what version are you on… did you node just update, because then maybe there is an issue with the new update.  
in which case it would show up on the forum in the next hours or days.

but certainly keep an extra sharp eye on your node over the next few days, maybe verify your disk is okay, but well trash is not important… but your node having errors could be very bad…
