IMHO, the ~/.local/share/Trash folder needs to be owned by you, not root. Using sudo can play tricks on you, if set up like e.g. in Ubuntu: if applications are use first time and that with sudo, new config files and dirs are created in the user home, nut owned by root. On my Ubuntu systems I run a 'sudo chown $user:$user -Rfv ~' in regular intervals... Mike -- Gesendet von meinem Fairphone2 (powered by Sailfish OS).
