I did the following: * Start gnome-control-center * Go to Privacy * Go to Purge Trash and Temporary Files * Click Empty Trash * Click Purge Temporary Files * Go to Trash icon on desktop * See that there are still files in trash when they should have just been emptied * "ls /tmp" and see that there are still files there even though they should have just been purged. * "find ~/.cache" and see that there are still files there even though they should have just been purged. I wouldn't expect the settings in the pop-up box to matter, but they were set to: * Automatically Empty Trash: Off * Automatically Purge Temporary Files: Off * Purge After: 30 days control-center-3.8.3-2.fc19.x86_64
This might be fixed in gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5, can you test again?
With control-center-3.8.5-2.fc19.x86_64, the trash is correctly emptied. I still see files in /tmp (which might be legitmate) and files in ~/.cache/ which belong to Evolution, Firefox, etc. Not sure what the scope of "Purge Temporary Files" is intended to be, but maybe that should be made more clear if it's not supposed to get everything.
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
