I am using Kubuntu 14.04 and Dolphin to sort and tidy my backup HD. I
have deleted a lot of files and directories.
In Dolhin, when I try and empty the watebin, Many files are removed,
but there are quite a few where I get the message "Access denied to
trash:/8017-My Pictures/1919 Beatrice" for example.
I tried using Dolphin with a sudo prefix, and that gives the message
" could not delete file /......"
I cannot find a .trash directory.
Under Dolphin, permissions are owner can view, everybody else forbidden.
How do I get around this?
Thanks,

Sorted. The problem was that the files/directories that I could not
delete all had spaces in the filenames.
rename 's/ /_/g' *
Changed all spaces to '_' and then it was bye-bye - all cleaned up.
