[opensuse] Empty Trash Problem
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. TIA.

Ok, I found it! I needed a Bigger Trash Can! Home Depot was just a couple clicks away.. --- Sent from my Suse Linux Desktop. --- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

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.
