Title: Protected files hidden by Trash Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “thunar” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus When moving files to the Trash which are belong to another user and you don't have access to, nautilus moves the files into a folder ~/.local/share/Trash/expunged. The problem is that there is no warning that this is happening and the location of the files is far from obvious. I only discovered the folder by using disk analyser and finding that there was a massive folder in ~/.local/share/Trash/expunged. It transpired after deleting the offending files that there had been some 70Gb worth of files!!! Would it not make far more sense from a function point of view to move the files into the Trash as per normal but just fail to empty them? At least you would be able to see them and know that you needed to do something!
