I’m not sure why but this blog is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this problem or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

Yeah, I saw the “cd /home/YOUR-USER-NAME/.local/share/Trash/files”

But I hate Reading TFM, so me just “rm -fr * .”

Rather be explicit about the files you want to delete or whatever. And you must never ever do a “rm -fr *” without doing a “pwd” first.

Oh, well that is just my 2 cents worth of opinion.

sudo rm -Rf *

To beginners like me, that could spell trouble.
Rather advise : sudo rm -rf /home/YOUR-USER-NAME/.local/share/Trash/files/*

Hi there.
The problem i run into is slightly different, there’s no file existed in the /home/YOUR-USER-NAME/.local/share/Trash/files directory. But when i have 1 or 2 files in the trash and try to empty trash, i got the real trash files emptied first, then the Trash Can talk back saying ” Cannot empty 1 of 20 files” whereas there’s not anymore trash file in it. any clue? thanks anyway!

I will say thanks for this, as I had some folders in my trash I couldn’t empty because of permissions errors. I will also point out this isn’t Ubuntu specific as I run Arch Linux and it worked perfectly.
