I have been doing some playing with Vbox and now wish to delete the virtual drives I created, when I do I get " The trash has reached it's maximum size. Cleanup the trash manually "
My Trash Can is empty! I know I have seen this before but can't remember what I need to do to fix it.
rpm -f ./VirtualDrive.vdi
and your "Trash Can" won't care :^)
Tnx, I'll try that next time. Mike.
I'm pretty sure Patrick meant rm -f ./VirtualDrive.vdi instead of "rpm".
And for future reference of others the actual location of trashed files is ~/.local/share/Trash, if you need to manually sort out problems that's where to look.
Alternatively, instead of a simple delete from your file manager (pressing the Del key) you can press Shift+Del to delete without first moving the file to the trash (this is the GUI equivalent of the terminal rm -f command). This bypasses limits you may have set on your trash size.... but it also permanently deletes the file... the safety net of the trash function is not used.
