probably it's USB 2.0 enclosures and USB 2.0 PC ports as well (taking Pentium© Dual-Core CPU T4500 in the OP signature in lieu of evidence) Please look for an output of lsusb while the drives are connected. How do I look for that output? These are newer drives with 3.0 and the laptop is 3.0 also. Y...

This screenshot shows the new Music bookmark on the right with the correct music icon, but on the left, that same bookmark shows a home icon. I'd like to correct this.

The 4T drives are: Toshiba External USB 3.0 (5438) GUID partition table WD Elements 25A1 (1014) GUID partition table Isn't this the correct info? Try these attachments. And my system info is in my sig. I believe I have 3.0 ports. And the problem is relative. These two drives are running much slower...

I made a screenshot. You can see that the folders are listed in root trash. And I have not regained the 500gb, so I don't think that they were deleted yet.

I made the new bookmark while in Home and it set up a 2nd home folder, which I then edited to "Music" and placed the emblem from Properties > Basic. While the new bookmark folder is showing the music emblem in the folder on the right side, the folder tab on the left side under Bookmarks, d...

Well, I don't understand. I found the file names listed in root trash. If I deleted those files recursively, I would have regained the space. I'm still short 500gb on the file system. I would like to just reinstall the OS, but those two 4T drives have failed and I'm trying to backup stuff on my comp...

I have to ask.. how did you put items in root trash? Do you mean the items are in your user's trash but those items are owned by root? While organizing and moving data, I went to root because some items were not moving for some unknown reason. While still in root, I deleted a bunch of music files f...

I found the files in root trash with these instructions:

Code: Select all

sudo rm -r /root/.local/share/Trash

I just don't know what to do next.

Thanks for replying. Someone suggested that I make the Bookmarks folder first. Maybe they thought I should restore the files and then put them in the regular trash? I have the Bookmark folder again, but it would seem that since the items are in root trash, I could just use command line to delete the...

Thank you.

DONE

Thanx. Where can I find the "choose and icon" window? I clicked the folder and didn't see that. It's not in my Bookmarks editor.

OK. It adds a Bookmark called Home when I am in Pictures. I want a Bookmark for Music under the sidebar that says Bookmarks. It should be just like my old Music bookmark, with the music emblem.

I trashed some folders while in root and have located them in the root trash. I would like to remove them as I need the space. So, if you have the time to work this out with me, I'd appreciate it. the Bookmarks folder "music" also disappeared at the same moment. Do I need to restore that f...

Thanks for responding. I don't understand. Doesn't my sig have that info?

The 4T drives are:
Toshiba External USB 3.0 (5438) GUID partition table
WD Elements 25A1 (1014) GUID partition table

I have this horizontal tab that says Bookmarks. There is an option for adding a bookmark, but it does not function. How do I troubleshoot this?
Thanx

OK. I've got a Music folder made, but it's not showing in the sidebar. Is that OK? I don't think it's a real Bookmark folder because it has no emblem. This folder may be one I made yesterday trying to get back the Music Bookmark. No emblem means it's not a Bookmark?
