    Re: Cant delete some files in trash

    Trash is hiding in:

    /home/USER/.local/share/Trash/files/
    /home/USER/.local/share/Trash/info/

    USER is your log in name. You can remove file and info folders (Kubuntu will make new ones).


    In the konsole (or with Dolphin "Open as Root"):

    Code:
    sudo rm -rf /home/USER/.local/share/Trash/files/
    and
    Code:
    sudo rm -rf /home/USER/.local/share/Trash/info/

      Or just "sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/*". Don't need to replace USER nor do it twice.
      For external use only.
