Hi, I tried what you said and it didn't work the files are still there I can create files and put them in trash and can get rid of them except for those particular files What originally happed was, I was copying an old dvd to the hard drive because it had some files that were bad when it was copying it would come up with cannot read a particular file would you like to retry, skip or continue so i would have a folder that was incomplete. I would try again and again each time putting the folders into trash so now I have 6 folders of the same type in trash that will not erase

However, I was able to add folders owned by me, containing files and folders owned by root (700, actually with anything xx0) to the trash, and then empty the trash. Is this supposed to happen anyway? It doesn't seem logical that a user should be able to delete files and folders owned and only accessible to root. Can anyone else confirm on 8.04? Try testing with following command: cd mkdir test sudo mkdir test/testing sudo chmod 700 test/testing Then add to trash, and then attempt to empty trash. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Assignee: dvlchd3 (dan-buhrman) => (unassigned) -- directories in trash cannot delete had trouble copying them and put them in trach https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486048 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug.
