gnome trash cannot empty
Evening.
I"m having some troube with my Gnome trash bin. It works fine but I have a whole bunch of old files and directories that I cannot delete cause of set permissions. When I try and empty the trash it reports Quote:
The question is, how do I get around this problem? its really annoying now because my /home is absoloute chockers and pretty much all of the trash was on my /home thanks. |
as root, do
rm -rf $HOME/.Trash/* that removes every folder and file in it, and should not ask...if you aren't completely sure you will want to do this, or just want to check out and make sure there's nothing important, cd $HOME/.Trash ls -ldh ./* and you should see what you got:) so the trash folder is in your home directory .Trash |
Thanks b0uncer, that worked great. :)
