Description spv.nykanen 2013-05-29 08:57:44 UTC

There was A bug report like this, but in that one Dolphin crashed and that doesn't happen.

When I am trying to delete a file, Dolphin says that the trash is full and I should empty it. The trash was empty already, so I was unable to delete the file. 

There should be a opportunity to delete file straight without the trash, if the file is too big for the trash can.
Something like this: The file(s) you are deleting is too big for the trash. Do you want to delete it straight?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a huge file (1gb?)
2. Try to delete it
3. Original setups
Actual Results:  
Dolphin says that the trash is full and I should empty it. The trash was empty already, so I was unable to delete the file. 

Expected Results:  
There should be a opportunity to delete file straight without the trash, if the file is too big for the trash can.

Also I find it sad, that there is no opportunity to format a USB-disk with a right click in Dolphin.

Thanks for the report, but please do not mix different issues in one report - this makes handling the bug database (which is challenging enough already) impossible for a small team of volunteers.

Let's only consider the "Trash is supposed to be full even though it's empty" issue here.

About comment 1: this is covered already by bug 224056.
