Trash has reached maximum size?

Question

I'm on Kubuntu 11.04, and deleting in Krusader I get "Thrash has reached maximum size" even when I have 10M in ~/.local/share/Trash/files. So my question is why is that? How do I set the allowed size of the trash bin?

Answer 1

Easier still...

• Open Dolphin
• Select 'Control' from the top of the window
• Select 'Configure Dolphin'
• Select Wastbin
• Un-check limit to maximum size
• Select apply

And you don't even have to open a horrid terminal

Answer 2

Try Krusader Tools > Empty trash instead of empty trash button.

Removing trash metadata file works too - until you reach trash limit again - rm ~/.local/share/Trash/metadata

Answer 3

This UserAction solves it:

mv %aList("Selected")% $HOME/.local/share/Trash/files

Edit:

The following works faster (but be careful)

rm -rf %aList("Selected")%

Answer 4

I had this problem and solved it in the File manager (Dolphin in my case) configuration i went to Trash tab and there switched "Full trash" option from "Show a warning" to "Delete biggest files from trash". I am guessing other file managers have similar option.
