I dunno about that problem (do you own the files you're trying to delete?), but if you want to delete files, try using a delete command rather than "move to trash, then empty trash." Have you done the "empty trash" step, too? I always set the option to show an actual delete command in the Nautilus file browser. If I actually want to delete files, then messing around with the trashcan is a timewaster. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
