I'm running Kubuntu 14.04 and my trash folder won't accept any files larger than a text document. Yes, the trash is empty. I've checked all the related threads here, as well as played with the size settings for the Trash folder in Dolphin, and I've spent a couple of hours on Google trying to find alternative solutions. All I've come up with so far is that this seems to be a somewhat Kubuntu-specific problem, and it's a real pain to resolve. Any ideas or should I just upgrade to v15.10 and hope for the best?

It is possible that you put something into trash as root!

To access the Trash as root:

  1. Open the terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T.

  2. Then type in the following command:

gksudo nautilus /home/your_username/.local/share/Trash

You may need to install gksudo with:

sudo apt-get install gksu

be sure to replace the "your_username" with your actually username!

Then delete everything in there (or just items you don't need)!
