One thing that might help is to boot to the LiveCD. Once booted up, mount your Lx partition and whallop whatever you can in un-needed files (exercise EXTREME caution before tackling system files). After the purge, reboot to your production ops and continue the cleanup as required.

Try it from a terminal. Open terminal and first:

Code: Select all

cd /home/username/.local/share/Trash
then

Code: Select all

ls
If that looks like your trash folder then do

Code: Select all

rm ./*
NB this will delete all your trashed files, permanently.
NB2 Where I have written 'username' in the above commands you will of course have to substitute that with your own username, you cant just copy and paste the commands.
