Hello everyone,

I recently installed America's Army on Ubuntu however it didn't work. It would just bring up the AA splash screen and then do nothing. Since I had it on my windows Partition already (I was only testing it on linux for testing sake) I figured I would just uninstall it. The uninstallation didn't work using AA's uninstall file, so I resorted to just deleting the folder. I decided to check and see how much Hard drive space I would have got back from deleting the game (since I only had 800MB with it installed) only to see that I had not got back the space the game took up in the first place. I rebooted and it still stayed the same. Does anyone have any idea why I lost the disk space and how I might go about getting it back?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nevermind I guess I was able to solve the problem. It turned out that the files were still in the Trash Bin for the root account. I used Nautilus as root and navigated to the trash bin folder and deleted the files.

Ubuntu needs a way to delete roots trash without having to login to root. It's a PITA for sure.

Yeah I guess so. It was just by chance I was fiddling around and noticed it, decided to check it out and low and behold saw that the armyops folder was still there in the Trash Bin.
