Just want to open Trash, is all, no one knows

Asked by Pepe

I got a lot of mumbo jumbo from the wrong people. My fault I guess. But I just want to open Trash. I have been doing just fine on 8.04, 8.10, 9.04 and now 9.10, But today it was no go. I then notice 173 MB in there. Maybe cannot hold? I simply do not know much about this. What little I knew was working all right for a couple years. - Now Windows beckons. - Thanks.

Pepe,

What is not working?

Normally you left-click on the lower-right garbage icon and a window will open to show what is in the trash folder.

You can also go to this same folder by clicking on -Places- -Home Folder- and then clicking on the right hand side trash folder.

When the trash folder is shown, it will give you an option to click on Empty Trash

Regards,

Marco

No solution. I lost the file in the Trash. Because i tried to empty and it did. Over and out. No one had the solution to the problem. I lost the entire file. Thans anyway.
