Description Robert G. Siebeck 2017-08-09 17:31:44 UTC 
In Dolphin's settings, I set a maximum Trash size of 1%, which is ~ 8 GB. I chose to delete files irrevocable.

However, that setting doesn't seem to have any effect:

~ $ du -hs .local/share/Trash
27G     .local/share/Trash

I would expect that Dolphin reduces the Trash size to ~ 8 GB when I delete a file, but this is not the case.

The problem is still reproducible with kio-5.37.0 and dolphin-17.04.3

Robert, is this bug still reproducible for you? Can you check how much free space KDE thinks your trash  have? It is shown in bottom right corner of Dolphin window when it is opened on trash://

I suspect your bug is the same as mine. In my case KDE stopped counting size of deleted files and shows empty space as equal to trash size limit. But actually  there lots of deleted stuff in trash, about 1.5 size of a trash. Age limit seems to still work.

No, I just tried to reproduce it and it seems to work fine. I'm currently on dolphin-17.08.3 and kio-5.43.0
