I have found a copy of everything I have ever deleted in a hidden folder '.local/share/Trash' and am wondering why?
I thought once something was deleted it was gone. These are items that I have moved to the trash in kde. I then emptied the trash, several times, and the trash thinks it is empty. I started noticing this when I ran out of disk space for my home partition. I did a df and it said the partition was full, but as I looked at the folders that I have in my home directory it came to only a small fraction of what the partition had available. So I started to look at the hidden folders and there it was. Gigabytes of data in a Trash folder. So my questions is why are these files there and is there some way to no have them stored or to flag them somehow? My system is: Suse 10.1 KDE 3.5.4 Thanks Brad /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
