What is .Trash-root?
Hello,

Yes, except in Linux you have a Trash for root and each user. The Trash bins are confidential trash bins. ----------------------- Steve Stites |
Thanks!
Is it by default set to go there, rather than get deleted permanently? If so, I would have to delete it twice to actually reclaim hard disk space. I use command line, not GUI. Appreciate any pointers.. |

I use command line, not GUI." The command line commands do not use the trash bin. In KDE a user can set a universal default for GUI programs to either use or not use the trash bin. I think the same is true for Gnome. -------------------------- Steve Stites |
Thanks man!
That's what I thought. But, I found a lot of junk in .Trash-root, and I became confused. I must have done it long time back when I was using GUI.. Appreciate your answer. |
