Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
If trash contains unempty folder with ro permissions, it can't be emptied. Trying to set rw permissions for folder inside fake trash results in "operation is not supported by driver". You need to manually go to actual trash ~/.local/share/Trash, fix permissions, or shift+del from there. and, imho, moving actual trash folder so deep is not good idea. ~/.trash was fine. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Can't empty trash when it contains read only folder with files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/227209 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
