Thanks David, I found the trash right where you said it was, and just in time too! I've had 158.4 gigs of trash accumulate since upgrading to Dapper, WOW! Every time I checked ~/.Trash , it was empty and I mistakenly presumed that there must have been a cron job emptying it for me. By the way, you're correct, I am running Dapper 6.06, sorry for the slip up. As for the trash icon, I got rid of that long before upgrading and the upgrade didn't place a new icon there. I prefer not to have an icon, so long as I know where the trash is. I have one last question though, on the subject of where. Why is it necessary to share trash? <div>On 11/29/06, Rebel Lion <<a href="mailto:obsidion@ihug.co.nz">obsidion@ihug.co.nz </a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Around Thursday 30 November 2006 07:49, Dave wibbled of : > I have run into a strange phenomenon, where deleted files don't end up in > /home/user/.Trash instead, they remain somewhere and continue to take up > disk space.

Trash on dapper is in ~/.local/share/Trash However 6.1 is not Dapper it is Edgy so do you have dapper 6.06.1 or do you have edgy 6.10 David -- ~~~ Aaargh no it's mail from some weirdo ~~~ homepages <a href="http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~obsidion">http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~obsidion</a> <a href="http://obsidion.kwister.com">http://obsidion.kwister.com</a> Linux user # 215413 -- kubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">kubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-users </a> </blockquote></div> -- Dave Sterken
