try typing "kdesu konqueror" in a terminal and then try to get rid of
the stuff using the GUI file manager that will come out in root mode.

I am a little embarrassed to show my ignorance, but here goes. In the
midst of trying to recover from a mess of my Mandrake 8.1 because of
problems installing and uninstalling Win4Lin, I ran out of room on
/home/alvin. I was able to move some files to "trash" but some would
not, for instance the huge file "install" created by OpenOffice.
Nautilus tells me I cannot move or delete the directory because it
does not belong to me, it belongs to root. I went to a terminal and
changed to supervisor-root, but that made no difference. I wrote
"chmod a+rwx /home/alvin/install" but that made no difference. Can
anyone tell me what I need to do? Also some files that I was able to
move to trash, same problem in that I cannot empty trash because I am
not owner. I also do not know where "trash" is so cannot reach it from
terminal. Thanks.
