[SOLVED] System Settings "Lost and Found"

[Snowhog]

KDE 4.7.1

I have a section titled Lost and Found in System Settings, and Adobe Flash Player is shown there. I am not using the standard Adobe Flash Player, as it doesn't work on my 64-bit platform, so I added and am using the sevenmachines ppa and it's flashplugin64-installer.

How do I remove this non-working entry from Lost and Found in System Settings?

Can you get to it with Alt-F2 "kdesudo systemsettings"?

Resolved.

I removed (moved to a safe location 'just in case') the following files:

/usr/lib/kde4/kcm_adobe_flash_player.so
/usr/share/kde4/services/kcm_adobe_flash_player.desktop

Rebooted and the Lost and Found section in System Settings is gone. My flash sites still work properly, so these two files had to have been leftovers from when I had installed Adobe Flash Player from the standard installer.

When fsck attempts to recover corrupted data it places a link to the recovered file in /lost+found. If you are certain you don't need the file then it should be safe to do:

sudo rm -iv /lost+found/FILENAME

Answer y when prompted if you are sure you want the file permanently deleted.
