Trying to delete a folder that was created when extracting a zip archive.
When I right click and select “move to trash” an error message pops up and says “The file or folder . . . . does not exist”
I know it exists because I can see it and am trying to delete it.
Tried logging in as root and deleting it and got the same message.
Extracted the zip archive to another location and tried deleting that one and get exactly the same message. Now I have two instances of a folder I can’t delete.
File name contains Japanese characters. The original zip files I can view the Japanese characters fine but when unzipped everything goes wrong.
No idea with the problem is there - never come across this before.
OK, I have the same problem. The Auto complete did not solve the problem. I get “cannot remove … no such file or directory”
Might there be an other solution? tried logging in as user, as root, tried to delete from dolphin (as user and as root) tried to delete from terminal with rm (as user and as root)
is there an other option? the stupid file is 1.3GB, would like to get rid of it…
Is there a way to delete from outside Suse (Suse 11.1, KDE3)?
Well, actually you two do not want to remove the extracted folder but keep it, right? You might try a handy too called ‘convmv’ (available via ‘OSS’), which will convert the folder / its content to the correct encoding.
convmv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8 -r someFolder*
…will not convert the folder yet but do a test first. When the output seems okay, do
