I had several files on my desktop that I wanted to delete so I left clicked at the top corner of one of them and dragged a box around the group to highlight them. Once done I deleted them. I must have included the trash can as that has gone as well. There is no undelete option in the menu so please, how can I get my trash can back.
View 9 RepliesI use a CentOS 5.4 machine as a Samba file server for a WinXP SP3 box. I noted that when I deleted files under the Samba server from WinXP, there is no trash can for them. What I delete is lost for good. Is there a Samba config setting that puts deleted files into a trash can?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSo I transfered a few folders with videos in them to the public folder on an Ubuntu 10.04 laptop I have from my Ubuntu 10.04 64bit laptop. When I wanted to delete the folder I didn't have permission so I ran "gksudo nautilus" so I could delete it as root. So I deleted the folder but I did not get the space back!
I went to /.local/Shared/Trash and one of the folders I deleted was there but deleting it didn't get that space back either.
I did some searching but most of what I find doesn't help or tells me to look in the folder /.local/Shared/Trash folder but that didn't help any.
I moved a few files from a directory in my home directory structure to the KDE trash folder, and then deleted them from the trash folder. About a minute later I regretted this, and now I'd like to see if there's any way to recover the files. First, are there any good utilities for restoring accidentally deleted files? If so, where would I look for these files? Does the KDE trash config file actually correspond to a physical directory somewhere, or do the files just remain hidden in their original location?
View 7 Replies View RelatedIf I move a file to the trash,I can restore it later.But if I empty the trash,I'll be warned that I cannot recover the files if I proceed.Is this really true or are there Linux applications for recovering files deleted from the trash?Uhm...are the files deleted completely and unrecoverably or are there any traces left behind?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI don't know whether this is a bug or feature. But I find the fact that the Trash in Gnome doesn't delete trashinfo files a security liability.
I found in ./local/share/Trash/info thousands of .trashinfo files named exactly like the files deleted and each one contains the date of deletion.
I thought when I empty the trash bin every record of the files were removed. I understand that there are forensic ways to recover data and rm isn't very secure with journaled file systems, but forensic recovery isn't 100% and if the disk is written over several times the data is gone.
Here you have a permanent list of all the files you've deleted, without you knowing and the dates of deletion. IMO that's too much information.
Update: Weird after removing the files manually and then trying to delete files again using the trash I found no .trashinfo files, this time. So they were probably leftover files, but they didn't have a different owner/permission. Could this have been an issue and now fixed? (running Lucid)
I wanted to delete files in the trash but I accidentally clicked 'Remove from panel'

For some reason after I delete files from it it still shows up as full and the files are shown in the hidden trash files. How do I get rid of these files?

Firefox wouldn't load properly after that whenever it was enforced. I uninstalled and reinstalled the profiles, but it didn't help.Finally I deleted the files for the profile itself ... now it will not reinstall them..I marked all the apparmor packages for complete removal and then reinstalled them but it will not put the original firefox profile back in.

CentOS amd64 fresh installed two weeks ago. Turned off nightly per company policy. Turned on this morning, logged in, started firefox, surfed a bit, minimized, and then noticed that the bottom toolbar is empty except for the trashcan in the far right end. No alternate desktops, no minimized firefox screens, nothing.

I have a problem with a couple of folders in the Trash. If I click on the Trash icon, 2 foldersare there, and when I try to delete them, it just says "Failed to delete the item from the trash"
But when I go to .local/share/Trash there are no files there! Anyway, I tried using the command "sudo rm -rf .local/share/Trash", it shows no error, but the files continue when I click in the trash icon.
