Sorry, not "then from Krusader". In a new instance of Dolphin rather. I can reproduce this as described in #446450: 1. Launch SMPlayer 2. Open -> File 3. Attempt to delete a file from that dialog I had the same issue, but in my case it was a user error. While migrating my home folder to another OS installation, I accidentally break the `~/.local/share/Trash` folder: its contents became incomplete, and some files there ended up being owned by the `root` user. Simply removing `~/.local/share/Trash` and restarting Dolphin fixed the issue for me. |
Created attachment 142758 [details] Screenshot I have no idea why this ended up happening. I've emptied the trash a few times today from Dolphin, then from Krusader, I attempted to delete two files. Got this weird error message.
