The EVOLUTION software appears NEVER to have been fixed. However, NORMAL DB OPERATIONS SEEM TO HAVE WORKED. So, one must wonder WHY the normal "empty trash" did NOT work.
I did SOMETHING LIKE: cd .evolution/mail/local sqlite3 folders.db .output stdout .tables trash ## showing precise name of trash TABLE select count(*) from '[name of trash table]' ; ## to verify it contained 3000+ items delete from '[name of trash table]' ; ## to empty the trash select count(*) from '[name of trash table]' ; ## to verify it was now empty .quit to delete the Trash. It felt very dangerous but seems to have worked. -- I could not empty the trash folder https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/325157 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
