Unable to empty trash

walden · 04-02-2007, 11:46 PM

I am having an issue with Fedora Core 6. When I try to empty the trash I get the following message dialog:
Error "File not found" while deleting "/mnt/storag.../..JUNGLA.".
Would you like to continue?

This file is actually from a mounted fat partition and I threw it in the trash back when I was using FC5. Any suggestions on getting rid of this?

Thank you!

I suggest to scan your drive and empty your trash in a terminal! "rm -rfv ~/.Trash/*" or "rm -rfv /home/your_user/.Trash/*" if logged in root.

Yeah I tried that:

rm: cannot lstat `upload//..JUNGLA.': No such file or directory

/sbin/fsck.vfat -atV /your/device --> check for bad cluster!!! and after removed may work.

Nope, it sure doesn't. It was originally deleted in windows...
