Description Piotr Mitas 2009-02-24 17:41:25 UTC

Version:           1.2 (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), Gentoo)
Compiler:          i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-gentoo-r2

I deleted a file via amarok 1.4, which moved the file to the trash. I tried to empty it, but the "empty trash button was grayed out. I don't know if it has something to do with amarok, as I probably never used trash in KDE4 before - the fact is, it cannot be emptied. http://imagebin.ca/view/uoCwMa9Z.html

After closing the Dolphin window and reopening it at Trash, is the action enabled?
And after restarting the whole system ?
This may be related to bug 167388
Thanks

Marking as NEEDSINFO

I have had a similar but slightly different experience.  I cannot delete files of larger than ~700MB using Dolphin.  After trying to do so, it would also not empty the smaller files that I had previously deleted.  Delete by rm at the console works fine.

I received the message:
Could not read /home/[user]/.local/share/Trash/info/[filename].trashinfo.
