Trash has reached maximum size?

  • 772

I'm on Kubuntu 11.04, and deleting in Krusader I get "Thrash has reached maximum size" even when I have 10M in ~/.local/share/Trash/files. So my question is why is that? How do I set the allowed size of the trash bin?

kubuntu

  1. Easier still...

    • Open Dolphin
    • Select 'Control' from the top of the window
    • Select 'Configure Dolphin'
    • Select Wastbin
    • Un-check limit to maximum size
    • Select apply

    And you don't even have to open a horrid terminal

  2. Try Krusader Tools > Empty trash instead of empty trash button.

    Removing trash metadata file works too - until you reach trash limit again - rm ~/.local/share/Trash/metadata

    This UserAction solves it:

    mv %aList("Selected")% $HOME/.local/share/Trash/files

    Edit:

    The following works faster (but be careful)

    rm -rf %aList("Selected")%

  4. I had this problem and solved it in the File manager (Dolphin in my case) configuration i went to Trash tab and there switched "Full trash" option from "Show a warning" to "Delete biggest files from trash". I am guessing other file managers have similar option.
