Ok, it looks like you do not have full permissions to the files and directories within the directories in the trash. This is why it fails when you attempt to empty the trash.
First, change all the files within your trash to be owned by you: sudo chown -R stevew.stevew ~/.local/share/Trash/files Then change the permissions to rwx for everyone. This is usually dangerous to do, but since we are just going to delete them afterwards, it doesn't really matter. sudo chmod 777 ~/.local/share/Trash/files Then try emptying your trash. -- directories in trash cannot delete had trouble copying them and put them in trach https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/486048 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
