Version: Unbekannt (using KDE 3.5.0 Level "a" , SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED) Compiler: Target: i586-suse-linux OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15.8-default The trash on my system is shown as empty, but there are more than 50 MB of files in ~/.local/trash (I don´t know how they got there).
yep, my problem to! If I open trash:/ in konqueror I see previous deleted files. If I delete them there they are gone. But: If I do right mousebutton on the trashicon in the "kontrollleiste" and say "Mülleimer lehren" (empty trash) so the files disapear in the trashview in konqueror put dont ! get deletetd. So it seams to me that dis is not the way it sould be. Is it like this? If yes, could this be changed that its realy deletes the files like it suggests?
the location of the hidden files is ~/.local/share/Trash/files
> If yes, could this be changed that its realy deletes the files like it suggests? For most people it does delete the files like it suggests. This is a bug, but I need debug output - preferrably from kdebase/kioslave/trash built from sources - to find out what's happening.
Hi! I've got the same problem, and as I have found, it's because a file owned by root but in a directory owned by user was sent to the trash (the directory is sent to the trash). From that moment, nothing is removed from ~/.local/share/Trash/files. In contrast, info files in ~/.local/share/Trash/info are removed when emptying the trash. It does not alert that there's a file owned by root.
SuSE 9.3 KDE 3.5.2 "a" SuSE 9.3 KDE 3.5.4 "a" SuSE 10.1 KDE 3.5.4 "a" I can confirm, that the "metafiles" from the info dir are all removed (and so the trash icon shows "empty"), but the files inside the files dir are still exist. Unfortunately i can NOT confirm, that there is a file, for which the owner has no access rights (like root owner, only "r" etc.). The files in the file dir can be deleted by "rm -r *" without any additional confirmation. We today encountered the problem, as a user came in and complained about no more space left on his hard disk. After a little examination with the du command, i found ~/.local/share/Trash with more than 60GB(!!!!!!) of data. Some of them only one day old, many older. Partial back to the day, the system was installed (primary installation was KDE 3.5.1). Looking at our other machines, on some (not all) i found orphaned files. All "Trash" desktop icons showed "Empty trash" and the info dir was empty. But i couldn't find any rules about why this files didn't got deleted.
