Ghost files in /usr/.Trash-0/files ????
by StepNjump from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4R1SC)
My df on /var was getting high (61%)
I attempted to delete all files in /usr/.Trash-0/files using nemo (rooted). There was 6GB of old stuff in there... Thought I deleted everything
but no!
When I du -h | grep /var, nothing was changed so I tried
du -hx /var/.Trash-0/files as sudo -i and there is nothing left in there either.
yet when I do a du -hs /var I show 8.5GB while in df -h | grep var, it's consistent with the du command. Still running at 61%.
Did I delete anything? Where did they go??
Ghost files???
Thanks for your input.
