it would also help potential answer givers if you tell your desktop
environment…but without that i will guess you are using KDE and say:
go to the openSUSE main menu (on mine its a green circle with a gecko
head in it) and in the search block type in “file manager”, a list will
appear, click on File Manager - Superuser Mode
you will then be asked for the root password, type it in and then that
instance of the file manager has all necessary permissions to do
everything you want to do, and LOTS of things you don’t want to do
(because, deleting the wrong file could damage your system)
when the file manager comes alive, nav to /var/tmp/ then look for
TmpDir.VXQojc and delete it…
my advice would be to then close that File Manager - Super User Mode
because if you leave it open and then forget how powerful it is, it
would be real easy to mess up your system…
oh, if you can’t follow those instructions: please tell us the desktop
environment and version you are using…(i have no idea if what i gave
is useful in Gnome3)
