The icon is an indication that other items are depending on the file and that it can't be deleted. I am not able to reproduce this. All files I have that have the icon also lists the items that depend on the file. On my system it is only protocols. >> If I select a single File item from the Trashcan and click 'Delete >> Permanently' I get the "can't be removed" message. This is expected if the file has dependencies. >> >> If, in the Properties page for the same file I click 'Delete >> Permanently....' no error message appears and when I return to the >> 'Trashcan' page the item is gone and the total count of hits is >> decremented. Which page do you mean? I don't know of any other place than the Trashcan which has a 'Delete permanently' button. >> In addition, the command: >> userfiles $ find . -type f | wc >> returns one less. This indicates that the delete was successful. Well... this counts the number of files stored on the file system. This doesn't have to correspond to the number of files in the database. >> Do I have to delete files one at a time?
