X11 files are stuck in my user Trash and cannot be emptied....
This is one of those operations that is facilitated by using an OFM[1] instead of cmdline utilities.
1-log out of X 2-login on a vtty 3-mc 4-navigate into the .Trash folder 5-highlight everything you want to delete (* and/or + keys) 6-F8 done If you manage to get permission denied this time, do it over again as root. If you get command not found trying to execute mc: A-complain to your distro they forgot to put it in the base install B-install mc (it's in every distribution's base repos) [1] http://www.softpanorama.org/OFM/Paradigm/ -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
