Where is the "Trash" folder kept ?

English Install/Boot/Login
1

openSUSE 12.3
KDE 4.10.5r1

When I open Dolphin, Trash is the 4th down at the left top.

  1. Home
  2. Network
  3. Root
  4. Trash>Local>

It has some files in it that I cannot remove using the preferred method.
So, if I knew how to get to them within Kconsole, I can clean them up.
They look like the kind of files Windows used to have. {8437-DDD354-GTF67 } etc
File sizes unknown

I poked around yesterday but can’t find them.

thanks

KDE’s trash folder is ~/.local/share/Trash. The deleted files are located in the files subdirectory, but you can just delete the whole Trash folder (with dolphin f.e.), it will be recreated automatically.

KDE also keeps a separate trash folder on each external drive, that one is called .Trash-xxxx, where xxxx is your user id. You have to enable “Show hidden files” for dolphin to show that (click on the “gear” symbol in the toolbar).

I found it but it was the one on the USB HDD, a leftover from Windows.
It’s all cleaned up now.
