I have a Gwenview error: The wastebin is full. Empty it or remove items manually.

I don't know where Gwenview keeps its wastebin. It doesn't seem to be the same one as the main wastebin as that is empty.

Could someone point me in the right direction to delete the files in the Gwenview Wastebin?

The copy I'm running is installed as a snap

Thank you for any help

My question was regarding finding the location of the Trash folder for Gwenview when installed via a snap.

Gwenview produces the error message The wastebin is full. Empty it or remove items manually. but doesn't tell you where to find the Trash.

I used the command:

find . -name "Trash" | sort | more

And got the result:

/snap/gwenview/94/.local/share/Trash

Edit: ~/snap/gwenview/94/.local/share/Trash is the correct path. (Thanks to mook765)

The Trash folder contains folders Files and Info. The contents of these folders can be deleted.

(The '94' in the path is something that is changeable. It's something to do with snap. So you'll have to search to find your Trash)

Hope this helps other people.
