Emptying trash as root
 

Is there a quick solution or command to empty the trash while root? I deleted some stuff but it won't let me empty it from the trash due to my permissions.

Thanks!

Assuming that you're using gnome since you're
on FC ...

rm /home/<username>/Desktop/Trash/*


Cheers,

rm /home/user/Desktop/Trash/* -R
rm /root/Desktop/Trash/* -R

I put these commands in a cron job which runs once a week.

Sorry, it says the file or directory does not exist.

What's the invocation line?

And if you
locate Trash
, where does it live?
