The problem turned out to be that
"....local/share/Trash/expunged/73080846/grub2..." appeared under *BOTH*
/home/richard and the root directory.
Do you mean that there was a
/.local/share/Trash/expunged/73080846/grub2 problem-2018-02-13
or
/root/.local/share/Trash/expunged/73080846/grub2 problem-2018-02-13
directory ? The former would be really odd. Also, I do not see how
either would interfere with
/media/richard/MISC
backups/dev_sda14/home/richard/.local/share/Trash/expunged/73080846/grub2
problem-2018-02-13
or
/home/richard/.local/share/Trash/expunged/73080846/grub2 problem-2018-02-13
I successfully ran:
root@debian-jan13:/home/richard# updatedb
root@debian-jan13:/home/richard# locate TRASH
root@debian-jan13:/home/richard# cp -ax / /media/richard/MISC-backups/dev_sda14/
None of these commands removes any file or directory.
