GNOME's "Move to Trash" - Outright Deletes Any Files or Folders
Last modified: 2005-08-29 22:55:22 UTC
On my system, if I view my files and folders in Nautilus and select "Move to Trash" from the right click menu, the item is just deleted. At the very least, the trash can remains with no files in it and I have no idea how to recover the files or folders that were "Moved to Trash". I have already lost an important folder completely this way and since it does not appear in the trash, I am lost for a solution.
Solution: look in ~/.Trash *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 100649 ***
Temporary solution that is. Its.
In the context of "I have no idea how to recover the files," it's a solution. There's admittedly still a bug.
