[SOLVED] GNOME Trash, unable to delete file

[Okar]

Hi,
I got a directory in my Trash for which I have no permissions to delete it. I don't know how this happend....really odd

the folder ~/.local/share/Trash/files is empty though.
does anyone know how I could delete this file? are there other folders that should contain the trash?

Open terminal and type


gksudo nautilus /home/[your username]/.local/share/Trash/files

Now delete the files you want

I figured out the problem, it was a file that I deleted on my external harddisk.
the folder was in a folder called ./Trash-1000 on /media/disk.
