Can't move files to trash on my second drive [Solved]

[zeroalpha]

So yesterday I changed my secondary hard drive's name : go to disk app->select Edit mount options->toggle Automatic Mount Option to Off->edit mount point to /mnt/Main. Since then I can't move anything to trash on that drive , I can only delete files permanently. What do you think causes this?

You are not the drive's owner.

Code: Select all

ls -lsR /path/drive

You are not the drive's owner.

That was my first thought also, but how can the OP delete anything permanently in this case? So the problem is more likely the trash bin itself.

Try this:
Open your file manager and navigate to the secondary drive. Now make hidden files visible (press ctrl-h). You should see the folder .Trash-1000. (under some circumstances the number may be different.) Try to delete it permanently. Now try to delete something from this drive into the trash bin.

Apparently I was not the driver's owner. I got confused because it's partition was NTFS and so chown wasn't working. Thanks.
