how I can really empty ubuntu trash ?

[legolas_w]

I am trying to empty the trash but I can not.
I tried all commands which are mentioned in http://www.ubuntugeek.com/empty-ubuntu-gnome-trash-from-the-command-line.html with no luck.

when I open the trash in gnome, it has some content which I can not delete. when I try to change the permission of the content it does not allow me....


Is there any way to use root permission and empty the trash?
I tried and opened a nautilus using root (gksudo) and then I tried to open trash:/// with no luck.


thanks

Did you try ;


sudo rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/files/*

You are the man, this command worked charming.

Thanks.
