Emptying Trash Problem

Hy guys,

Have you faced something unusual during emptying your trash in ubuntu? As for me, I ever been in such condition once since I am using ubuntu Linux. The error is about permision.

 I dont remember the message inside the popup message. When this popup error is come out, you can’t be able to empty your trash no matter how you try.Sometimes, as a regular user in linux os, u can not be able to empty the trash completely because you are not the root user of the system. This is for security reason acctually. I don’t want to mention it here. So lets go to the point.

But the solution is as simple as eating bean. Just simple code

solution:

1. Open terminal

2. type this code:

   jurin@jurin-laptop:~$ sudo bash
   [sudo] password for jurin:
   root@jurin-laptop:~#
   now you are root user. So u can proceed to the next step.
   3. rm -rf ~/.local/share/Trash/files/*
   4. click enter.
   5. Done!

   Regards,
   Linux Spirit
