Hi Folks.

The trash has reached its maximum size!

I got this error in KDE4 and I couldn't get rid of it for few days.

All You have to do to fix it is:

A) Open the Dolphin file manager logged in as the user (the one that has the problem).
B) Go to the /home/problemuser/.local/share/
C) Find and highlight (ONLY!) the Trash folder.
D) Press and hold SHIFT and then press DEL(ETE) key. Let go both keys.

problemuser should be replaced with the login of the user with the "Full trash" problem.

Folder has been removed. Reboot Your machine or log out and log back in. You should be able to use "Move to trash" button again.

Hope this helps to somebody someday.

Regards.

Andy
