Deleted Files Vanishing

[suffer1989]

I had a directory full of Pictures i imported from a digicam. However, I tried to delete them but, permission was denied. So I decided t act smart, and i used Sudo nautilus and deleted the files from there. However, the only option i got was "move to trash". I clicked that, and the folder vanished. However, the space is still being occupied (3.2GBs). I checked in the trash, and its not there . Can anyone Help me ?

My only thoughts are... were you still using the sudo nautilus when you checked the trash bin? If not it may be that you can't see them in there and need to use sudo nautilus again to view and clear the trash. Other than that I'm at a loss... perhaps a disk check might find the missing space?

I tired looking at the trash, but all i got was :

Sorry, could not display all the contents of "trash": Operation not supported

It should all be in root's trash, so look for /.Trash using gksudo nautilus and you can then delete the files properly or restore them. On my machine with hardy it's called /.Trash-1000, and it appears at the top of the output of the command locate -i trash

All I get is this :

Hi,

Try:

ls -l /root/.local/share/Trash

Andrew

[photon_man62]

Just right-click on the trash icon and click "Empty Trash" while in an admin account.

I mean, it said it could not DISPLAY all the ocntents, which means they might still be there.

Oops I forgot the structure of this folder :-). The following should do it:
