cannot empty everything that is inTrash
Not sure why but there is one folder that will not empty from my trash bin is there a command that will let me delete that file in the trash?

If you explain to us in more detail what you've tried already, what the results/outputs of those attempts were, and some specifics of the directory itself (does it have an unusual name or something), then perhaps we could help you.
Have you tried it from a shell yet, or only from a gui file manager? Have you tried deleting as root yet? Are there any files inside the directory, including hidden files? Etc. In short, we need more info. |
This occurs when something you are trying to delete is owned by another user (usually root) and you do not have permissions to delete it. Check the permissions on the file. If it owned by root, you can remove it by opening the trash icon as sudo user. Do this by prressing Alt+F2, and in the run box type:

ok after moving on to other things I came back to this minor problems and figured it out all I had to do was as SU in terminal cd /.local/share/Trash/files the rm -r "name of file" and it worked :) |
