[SOLVED] Access Denied

[zyxyellowxyz]

I have previous applications that I have downloaded, and after deciding not to install them, I deleted the extracted contents. (They were in a tar.gz file, I extracted the contents, and then deleted them.)
Now, whenever I try to fully empty my trash, I get the following error:

Access denied to /home/susan/.local/share/Trash/files/(file name(s))

The size, with the files that can't be permanently deleted, is now 6.2 MB
With 341 files and 178 sub-folders.



Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Re: Access Denied

Have you tried browsing there as ROOT and delete them that way? It could be a rights issue with that folder. Going there that way isn't a fix, but at least it'll get you there to delete them.

Re: Access Denied

Open Konqueror.
Navigate to ~/.local/share/Trash/files
Press Ctrl+A and hold (do not let go of these keys)
Right-click your mouse and select Root Actions > Delete
Navigate to ~/.local/share/Trash/info
Press Ctrl+A and hold (do not let go of these keys)
Right-click your mouse and select Root Actions > Delete

Re: Access Denied

thank you both. Sorry for the tardiness in my reply, but my husband did it for me before I checked back here. I will be sure to save the instructions for if this is to come up in the future.

No problem. Welcome to the Kubuntu Forums.

I liked Snowhogs method better. Glad you got those cleared.
