Let me see if I can figure the problem. You are in konqueror, you right click on a file, you select delete or you highlight the file and press Shift-delete and nothing happens. You don't get "Access Denied" either. Hmmmmmmmm..... If the file is owned by root and you are logged in as a user, then you cannot delete it and you should get "Access Denied". If you need to remove files owned by root using KDE, from START ----> Start New Session .... A kdm login screen appears, login as root, customize KDE to your liking and you can do all the things that need root access. CTRL-ALT-F7 to get back to the user session, CTRL-ALT-F8 to get back to the root session. Hope this helps. Regards Sid.

I am having problems deleting files from my SuSE 8.2 system. If I do an rm on the command line it is deleted fine, however when I do a Shift+Delete in KDE 3.1.2 it does not delete no matter what I do. I have even checked to find where it may possibly save a file the same size as the file that was deleted. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

This is what was happening. I was trying to delete root owned files but it did not give me an "Access Denied". It just looked as though it had deleted but it did not. Thanks for the help! NeoFax
