[QUOTE="Fairly, post: 453460, member: 35489"] "Trashing" something doesn't require any disk space. The item is "moved" is all. Only directory entries for the file change - from where the item currently is to the (fully real) .Trash folder. Presuming the item is on the same volume that is. Yes of course. "Trashing" a file isn't deleting it at all - it's merely moving it. It's a convention only. Presumably someone has told you what this approach is. [CODE]sudo rm -fr THE_FILE_YOU_WANT_DELETED[/CODE] Good luck. [/QUOTE]
