Nautilus freezes every time I try to delete a file from my mounted disc

  • 772

My problem is the following: Every time I try to delete a file from my auto-mounted drive Nautilus freezes up. First I get the prompt-screen saying ‘Cannot move file to trash, do you want to delete immediately?’. No matter what option I choose, Nautilus will freeze and stay frozen until I force it to quit.

I have no problem deleting files from my ‘system’ disk. And I tried deleting files on my mounted disk by using CLI and from Nautilus on an other computer over SSH, both methods work fine. It's just deleting that gives me problems. Copying, moving files around will work as it should.

    If you hold shift while deleting it has the same effect as bypassing the Trash. but that may not help with the issue if it is a bug. It is likely to still crash.

  2. Are you by any chance using nautilus elementary?. I am facing the same problem. Do you have a "delete" command when you right click on a file in nautilus.
