You have been subscribed to a public bug: I deleted some folders off my external USB hard drive and the Trash will not let me remove all the files. When I emptied the Trash most of the folders and files were removed but I still have about 100 MB that it won't allow me to remove. When I checked the hidden directories on the USB drive they were still there. I have tried numerous commands (that I saw on the Ubuntu forums, etc and they are still there. This is really annoying, if the files can't be removed why was I allowed to move them to Trash in the first place? I have used gksudo nautilus to try to delete them from the Trash and it still does not let me. I also tried to change their permissions but still did not have any luck.
