Delete files from user recycle bin
 

Hi I have some files in my recycle bin that I want to erase permanently.

I tried the following command

sudo rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash/files/*

and nothing,

If it helps, its the recycle bin for my normal user called Sergio, I tried to find the location of my recycle bin logged as a root and I'm not able to find it, please help.

Thanks

Ser

No need for sudo simply do while logged in as Sergio:

Thank you for your reply, I tried the code u gave me as sergio (normal user) and it says the following:

rm: cannot remove `/home/sergio/.local/share/Trash/files/ser/recycler/S-1-5-21-1482476501-1644491937-682003330-1013/isi32.exe': Permission denied

so it does not remove my recycle :(. I tried that same code as a root and no errors but the recycle is still full, please help

Check the file permissions and ownership of the contents in that folder. Do: or simply copy and paste the above to your terminal/console.

Thank you once again, I used the code you gave me and this is what happens:

4 -rwxr-xr-x 1 sergio sergio 62 2008-10-07 11:37 Desktop.ini
24 -r-xr-xr-x 1 sergio sergio 21873 2008-04-23 12:34 isi32.exe
8 -r-xr-xr-x 1 sergio sergio 7200 2008-07-24 14:59 service.exe
36 -r-xr-xr-x 1 sergio sergio 35328 2008-08-05 16:30 win32.exe

mmm.... so I assume that it's just a list (for ls) hope this info can help you help me. Thanks
