is the error from an application (like kmail) or a desktop (like KDE) or
the operating system itself (like openSUSE)?
in other words, there may be nothing in the trash you are looking at,
but somewhere else there is a full trash…
what application(s) were you using when you saw this error? how was it
presented? had you just deleted something? deleted as a regular user or
as root?

when i delete it from the square desktop folder on the desktop. opensuse 12.1 kde
i just checked and it wont delete it from my home folder either. i guess from anywhere
when i use move to trash option i get error message but i can delete using the delete button from dolphin
when i use the delete option it doesnt go to trash, it must bypass trash
thanks
do you have a trash icon somewhere? right click on it and select “Trash
Can Settings”, in the resulting pop up, what do you have set as the
“Maximum size” and why not just increase it?
but, also you said the trash is empty…how did you learn that? (did
you left click the trash can and look to see what was inside it? and if
it has a lot of stuff, what happens if you close that window, right
click on the trash can and select “Empty Trashcan”
if you are unable to empty the trash can, then please show us the
terminal input/output from these two commands
ls -hal ~/.local/share/Trash/files
sudo ls -hal /root/.local/share/Trash/files
copy/paste the in/output back to this thread using the instructions

no trash can icon on the desktop. if i go to dolphin and on the left there is a trash lable, if i right click on it the empty trash is greyed out… my only other options there are add entry, edit entry,hide entry trash, remove and unlock panel. in dolphin my trash settings are limit to maximum size is checked, maximum size is set for 10.000% - 43.68 GByte . I havent increased it because if its 43.68 GBs i figure id like to delete those if i have that much but i dont think so…

I wanted my trash go out by itself.
When I delete files they go trash and everything older than 1 day gets
deleted permanently.
I have even removed the Trash icon - no need for it

rm -r ~/.local/share/Trash
Logout, and login again. Your local Trash folder will be recreated.
You haven’t moved your home folder to a removable or remote device have you?

missing in your response is the INPUT and output of this command?
ls -hal ~/.local/share/Trash/files

ok, i’m totally confused: you trash is empty but has “reached its
maximum size” of 43.68 GByte
i give up…except, try this: use YaST > Security and Users > User and
Group Management to add a new test user, log out and log back in as that
test user…now use something like Firefox to download
something…whatever, and once you have it down loaded, right click on
it and select “Move to Trash”
then show me, again, the output of
ls -hal ~/.local/share/Trash/files

I had a similar problem in 11.3 it might work here too.
1)Open dolphin Open Trash
2)Go up to the Toolbar click the View select Show Hidden Files check that box
3)if anything shows up delete that

if you misunderstood 43.68 GB is what my limit can reach in trash, not whats in there

Uh-no, i tried that and it does not work. Perhaps this is an older version of SUSE. The correct method is to open dolphin > settings (wrench in top-right corner) > Configure Dolphin > Trash…
Deselect the radio button to limit trash size. This should allow dolphin to remove the contents of the folder. You could also ls -a the contents in terminal to see whats in there. That is probably prudent before doing anything hasty.

yes, it was the KDE which came with 12.1

There seems to be some kind of limit on the trash. If you navigate to it within terminal and delete it there it should work. This will not put it in trash, but will delete it permanently.
If it’s a file use rm *filename* where filename is the file to be removed
If it’s a directory try *rm -rf directory* where directory is the directory to be removed.

Doubtful. The question was made back in 2011
