Where do I find the trashcan on my Acer Aspire One please?

sb44

I did a search in the box at the top of the home page for the trashcan and it said I had 32 items in it and it was under the files system but I can't actually find it to empty it.

Can someone please tell me in laymans terms how to find it please as I am still trying to find my way around Linux.

:rolleyes:

Just type gconf-editor into the Alt+F2 run dialog to open the Gnome Configuration Editor.


Now browse down to the following key:

apps \ nautilus \ desktop

On the right hand side, you'll see an entry called trash_icon_visible. Just check the box. You can also change the trash_icon_name if you'd like.

And there's the icon.

Is that what you need?

That's great thanks.

I take it I just press Alt + F2 to get back out of that into the main menu when I have finished?

You can access it from the file browser and terminal also.

File Browser: Click 'View' and tick the 'Show Hidden Files' (Ctrl+H) box. Your trash can is the .Trash folder.

Terminal: 'cd ~/.Trash' will take you to the trashcan.

Well, I have just found the 'terminal' that everyone keeps mentioning, doh!

Thanks. :beer:

Yep, thanks, I had bookmarked that site but I think you have to register to do a search on there so about to do that now.
