[QUOTE="rman, post: 262810, member: 23"] I believe you are in the root directory. You need to be in your personal directory/folder. Do the following: cd /users ls -Al You should see your personal folder there. If you do then do a cd <your folder name>/.Trash Once you are in the case in your folder/directory do the: ls -Al If you see the two directories var and tmp. Then move them back tp their original place by doing the following: mv tmp var /private After which you reboot your system, by entering reboot. [/QUOTE]
