Description of problem: I wasn't able to empty my trash (I think permissions problems)... I tried chmodding files on it, rm -rf with root privileges..... etc.. nothing to do... Now I deleted my user account and created a new one (all using root desktop).. but the old home directory is still there appearing empty...and I can't delete it! Trying to delete: [root@karlpc home]# ls -a . .. carlo karl lost+found [root@karlpc home]# rm -rf carlo rm: impossibile rimuovere `carlo/.gvfs': Permission denied Permission denied... :D ROOT!!! :D Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rawhide fully updated How reproducible: It happened compiling some software from source.. I don't remember if I was using superuser... but in fedora 8 never had problems in deleting source code after compiling...
Most likely the gvfs-fuse-daemon is still running. Does ps ax | grep gvfs-fuse-daemon yield anything ? If yes, try killing the instance that is keeping /home/carlo/.gvfs busy.
ok, killed the process, and rm -rf deleted the directory... I don't know if is the case to close the bug, because the trash issue was annoying and won't fix by simply rebooting or killing processes... So I leave open this bug, hoping you have a look at its code.. One question: usually in these cases I used to delete with rm -rf /home/user/.Trash ..... but now, where is the trash directory?? I wasn't able to find it!
