Winderz seems to want to do it that way I think, the last time I tangled with a winderz thing was vz's borked webmail it was that way. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.

The only time I had a similar problem was when using KDE's superuser file manager to get rid of some /var/cache/apt/archive files. The default option in the right click context menu showed. Move to Wastebin Delete Using this option does not delete the trash, but creates a hidden file in /root/.local/share/trash , and puts all the stuff you think you've trashed in there, and is why my / partition was still showing full. The solution with the superuser file manager was to go to Settings/Configure-Konqueror/Behaviour , check the box "Delete", which will then be added to the right click context menu. Nigel.

Ext filesystems reserve a percentage that is usable only by root, so you could have erased stuff but userspace tools may report it is full because the space available is only usable by root. -- Fernando
