how does one empty the trash "manually"?

[oznola]

not off topic at all jonas,

to me? this seems to be an abstract issuew with broad implications. i feel the issues for me have been caused by runing the tardis plasmoid naively. i agree that as more powerful features are placed within easy reach of many we may see more of this type of strange but lucid situation.

i have reconfigured tardis such that the destination of it's backups will now be a /temp directory on my server via nfs.

i am running rm -r * in /media/AD14-2682 where the backups were stored before but i got allot of returns like this...

You could always force things with sudo if you wanted!

Not a good idea to try and force things,

"Read-only file system"

Suggests that the file system is read only, sudo won't help much with that, best to check the output of `mount` to see if it is mounted read only
