i have a slight annoying problem with my Trash Folder.I'm using Thunar!Some files are giving error messages when I want to empty the trash."File could not be deleted""Items in the trash may not be modified. Do you want to skip it?"When I say yes it delets them anyway.I cheked the folder at my home/.local...
I delete files via Nautilus. I then empty the Trash. It shows as empty. However, ~/.local/share/Trash contains 1.5G of stuff. I have a small SSD and so this is highly annoying.
only have 37 GIG on this Fedora 17
just deleted many large items
go message trash full...do manual empty
but where is the directory?
I did dolphin search and locate.
Another thread showed several commands
rm -fr /home/landon/.local/share/Trash/files
seemed to work
must each user do this?
So I figured recently that rm moved files to the Thunar trash (.local/share/Trash) by getting a nice "disk full" warning on my meager virtualbox disk.By all means, I believes it's a good idea, but it's a shame that it isn't documented anywhere.
While I like the way Thunar looks, and I like the plugins I hate the way that thunar deals with trash. It eats drive space pretty badWhat I did what create a cronjob that emptys my trash everyday at noon:WARNING! This empties your trash everyday without giving you a choice.
Originally I had issues with my trash folder because often times I would want to batch delete and I would get complaints about the Trash reaching maximum capacity despite nothing being in there. Not sure what to do I deleted the folder from root and now I can't delete anything.
Where do i find the trash folder location in my file system?
I am login as a non-root user; have searched in my home directory with "-a" switch with ls command but couldn't find anything related to trash; though could see some hidden files/directories.
On the other hand on the GUI, there is a folder called Trash which has all the files deleted.
I'm working on an external USB HDD in Thunar. The /media/MOUNT folder now contains a ".Trash-1000" folder. I removed it with Shift-Del, created a dummy file and deleted it, and the folder re-appeared, so it's definitely created by Thunar. I've done some searching, but I can't find a way to empty the trash from within Thunar. Any ideas?
When I delete files it says they are being moved to the trash can, but I can't seem to find the can trash can to clear it.
I just installed Lubuntu 11.10 last night, and I thought I remembered seeing the trash can when I opened the file manager.
I found these instructions to create a desktop icon while searching the forum, but there are no trash can icons to choose from.
