<Answered> Trash Problem

[Ray2047]

Using KDE fully updated. How do you empty trash? Real newbie question right? But I must be missing something. I have been using ctrl+a then shift+delete and that does remove the files but about the third time  I start getting Trash is Full error when I try to move a file to trash. Mostly pictures so that is not unreasonable if I wasn't deleting the files in trash but I am. I can manually delete the Meta Data file and all is fine for about three dumps and then I have to delete the Meta Data file again to clear the Trash is Full error.

Are you running KDE / Gnome / LXDE / ......

+ are you fully up-to-date?

If you using Dolphin I believe the Trash default size is 10% of /home.

It can be set to trigger an "event" such as deleting files "older than x days"

Or when the "limit" is reached it can be set to remove oldest or largest files.

Dolphin > Tools > Configure Dolphin > Trash

If you are running KDE and if you have a Wastebin widget on the desktop or on the panel, you can empty it manually by right-clicking the icon and choosing "Empty Wastebin".

If you are running Dolphin you can right-click the "Wastebin" entry on the Places panel and do the same thing. In Konqueror you can do the same thing, or you can type trash:/ in the address bar, hit enter, and then right-click the window that is opened.

(Or you can empty your Wastebin directories one by one....)

Not sure how  these answers will help since my problem is really with the Meta Data file but for now I'll mark it answered. Thank you all for your replies.
