Re: Can't empty trash

I just did a google on my little problem and found this rm -fr /home/user/.trash That seemed to clean out trash however checking the size of available space shows no increase in space. I had 24G free originally and despite deleting some 20G of folder/files, I expected to see 44G of free space

Well, I guess it really helps to do some digging -- found this find -name '*rash' and it seemed to give me every instances where trash is located. I looked at each file and they are empty. I guess I was mistaken in figuring I could gain an extra 20G of space. On 18/12/11 05:21 PM, John Lindsa
