Hi
I deleted some files having owner problem (They have been red from a Windows CD), they have been transferred to the trash but now I’m unable to empty trash, after clicking on the button empty trash nothing happens.
Any advice?
i don’t know what do you mean by owner problems, but try the following:
- make folder on desktop
- drag those files back to that folder on the desktop
- open terminal (easiest right mouse click on desktop and choose “open terminal here”)
- change ownerships of those files to yours
sudo chown -R yourname foldername
- delete folder and empty trash
Hi
Or you can use the CLI and go to ~/.local/share/Trash and remove
manually from the files and info directories (with the sudo command if
necessary).

HI thank you very much to all
the first hint didn’t work I got the same error messages trying to move the file to the desktop a generic “permission denied”.
The second hint worked from the command line as su I was able to delete the file.
Thank you again
