[SOLVED] Trash can problem
Hi,
I'm having a problem with Suse 11.0 Gnome. I deleted a folder that contains another folder that is owned by the root. Now the system will not let me delete this folder or restore it, it just sits in trashcan limbo...Is there a way to delete a user trashcan as root user?
Thanks for your response....Gerard4143

Trash and info is stored in:
/home/your_user_name/.local/share/Trash/files
/home/your_user_name/.local/share/Trash/info
Go to a terminal, su to root, then delete the troublesome files.
Code:rm /home/your_user_name/.local/share/Trash/files/name_of_file rm /home/your_user_name/.local/share/Trash/files/name_of_file
