I'm running Ubuntu 8.04, trashapplet version 2.22.1

Simply put, i've got a couple folders inside the trash applet that won't delete. However, the real problem is that the folders aren't in '~.Trash'.

Is there some list that trashapplet has that I can erase to fix this?

the only time I had a similar problem, I created a temp file and then deleted it and it still showed trash not empty. I then rebooted and the trash was empty. I was able to delete trash again.

On a side note, I had a 1mb file in ~.trash that was there since may 4th. I deleted it.

Tried giving everything a reboot, but the folders are still there.


I tried 'killall nautilus' and 'killall trashapplet', in case it was a config error. No luck.
