Same behaviour on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS with nemo 5.2.4-1 ... The files seem to be moved there if you delete a directory of yours with files from other users in it from the trash.
Proposal for behaviour changes: 1. Not create and use the "expunged" folder at all and just fail to delete other users' files from your own trash. 2. Continue to use the "expunged" folder but warn the user when and why and which files are being moved there (and maybe even continuing to show them in "trash:///"). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/422012 Title: Emptying the trash can lead to have files still on disk in expunged Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in thunar package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus When moving files to the Trash which are belong to another user and you don't have access to, nautilus moves the files into a folder ~/.local/share/Trash/expunged. The problem is that there is no warning that this is happening and the location of the files is far from obvious. I only discovered the folder by using disk analyser and finding that there was a massive folder in ~/.local/share/Trash/expunged. It transpired after deleting the offending files that there had been some 70Gb worth of files!!! Would it not make far more sense from a function point of view to move the files into the Trash as per normal but just fail to empty them? At least you would be able to see them and know that you needed to do something!
