Trash folders, file with sufficinet priv's wont "empty"
Hi,
I have a problem emptying the trash. The problem involved a folder from a removable media source. The Removable media is EXT3 format with my permissions on files. Anyhow I threw the folder into the trash and then tried to empty the trash, the folder would not remove itself. After digging through the ~/.local/
drwxrw_rw_ falcon falcon (on the file)
After running sudo rm -rf folder name the file finally went away with out problems however, this dosn't seem like a practical solution for random files that won't go away. The removable disk's name was unchanged, and the removable disk mount point was also unchanged and still present (an SD card that is used as backup) furthermore the disk has EXT3 format on it. It is mounted in /media/disk/
Any thoughts?
Also an idea that I had to avoid these types of problems might be to reference the trash with a folder on the disk itself .Trash instead.
