I trashed my trash!
It's true. I was playing with my mandriva distribution and got two trash folder when I re-installed and restored. I deleted the real trash bin, the desktop configuration file, and just have a regular file folder that calls itself trash. If I right click on a file and trash it, it goes somewhere ????? I have other accounts set up and the files go to trash:/.
How can I restore the real trash bin, the Desktop Config File? Where did those other files I tried to delete go and do I have to find them and delete them. Yeah, I klutzed it, one of the fun parts of gnu/linux. Mock me unmercifully! |
Hi,
It depends on your desktop. As you did not post what desktop you use, I can only guess. Usually, it is something like ~/.Trash directory. Happy Penguins! |

If your using Gnome, the "trash bin" is nothing more than a hidden file in /home/<user>. Thats where all of your files went. So when you "move to trash" all you do is put the files inside of that hidden folder.
Try going to Applications -> Configuration Editor Once there goto Apps -> Nautilus -> Desktop And then on the right it should have check boxes for the icons on your desktop including your trash bin. Does checking and/or unchecking solve anything? |
