Very annoying bug, and its there for at least 9.04 One could still purge the files by manually deleting the contents or /root/.local/share/.Trash
But restoring the files requires one to manually read the info/xxx.trashinfo contents to know the original location of the trashed file. Why cant the root use / empty / restore the trash as any normal user? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/702093 Title: Root Nautilus does not access Trash -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
