Delete items in .Trash-0

[cdnlilwolf]

Using Fedora 8 (2.6.23.15-137), KDE (3.5.9-3)

I've tried every which way to delete the contents of /home/.Trash-0/files and /home/.Trash-0/info as shown in Konqueror (Super-User mode). However, logged in as root in the terminal the directories do not exist.

Could someone enlighten me as to where Konqueror keeps this data?

What data? And where in Konqueror (Super-User mode) do you see /home/.Trash-0/* "shown"?

Files sent to trash bin are kept in "Trash". If you want to delete them, empty the Trash Bin using the desktop icon. If you need to know where the files are actually logically located on the directory tree, it's: ~/.local/share/Trash/files/ and ~/.local/share/Trash/info/

The data I see is anything I may have deleted from a directory (including the directory itself) while using Konqueror in "SU" mode. I have the "Root Folder" tab selected. When I click /home I see 3 directories.

/.Trash-0
/andy
/lost+found

/.Trash-0 has 2 sub-directories /files and /info. Within /files are actual files and directories I have deleted. Within /info there are corresponding text files like "0173_1.mpg.trashinfo" that has the content below

[Trash Info]
Path=.Trash-0/files/0173_1.mpg
DeletionDate=2008-03-08T08:08:10

If I try to delete the above file another gets added (0173_2.mpg.trashinfo) to the folder that contains this and so on

[Trash Info]
Path=.Trash-0/files/0173_1.mpg.trashinfo
DeletionDate=2008-03-08T08:08:11

and so on....

The problems seems to be isolated to using Konqueror in SU mode. From the command line I can not enter

[root@a64dc home]# cd /.Trash-0
-bash: cd: /.Trash-0: No such file or directory
[root@a64dc home]#

The directories you mention here are as empty as they should be.

I'm really stumped here

If you delete the files as root user, then the files will be placed in root user's trash directory: /root/.local/share/Trash/*, not the owner's /home/*/.local/share/Trash/ directory.

These even have a different set of files and directories which oddly enough, won't delete either.
