    Trash Folder Stays Red When Empty - Solved

    I believe this is this right place to post this. My apologies if it is not.

    After doing a fair amount of cleanup work on my external hard drive, I noticed that the Trash folder on my desktop stayed red after it was emptied, even when the external hard drive was no longer connected.

    After some searching, I found this advice from the askubuntu site: https://askubuntu.com/questions/8664...op-icon-config

    Where I replaced the existing text in the ~/Desktop/trash.desktop file with this:

    Code:
    [Desktop Entry]
    Encoding=UTF-8
    Name=Wastebin
    Icon=user-trash-full
    EmptyIcon=user-trash
    Type=Link
    URL=trash:/ 
    OnlyShowIn=KDE;[COLOR=#000000][FONT=sans-serif][/FONT][/COLOR]

    It seems to have fixed the problem.

    What you ended up with is very much like the default trash.desktop file I have on Kubuntu 18.04:
    Code:
    $ cat trash.desktop
    [Desktop Entry]
    Name=Trash
    Comment=Contains removed files
    Icon=user-trash-full
    EmptyIcon=user-trash
    Type=Link
    URL=trash:/
    OnlyShowIn=KDE;
    $
    Kubuntu 20.04
