[QUOTE="McBie, post: 1358620, member: 54417"] What exactly are you trying to achieve ? The trash is a safety net for people who " accidently " delete stuff. I can understand that if you want to delete a huge folder ( several gigabyte ) and then empty the trash, it can take a while -_-. I don't know your level of Unix skills and how comfortable you are with using terminal, but have a look around here and read up on the horror stories from people using terminal and destroying their system. On the other hand, there are very experienced terminal users here who might even use terminal more than the graphical interface, so wait a while and allow one of them to chime in and provide some terminal advice ... or other tips. Cheers ... McBie [/QUOTE]
