Hello,

On my Debian Lenny, I am unable to empty the trash because of
permission problems. For example, I have a .jar file, and when I
choose to "Empty Trash," I receive:

"Error while deleting.
"/home/merci...4-1131.jar" cannot be deleted because you do not have
permissions to modify its parent folder."

Where is the trash folder located in my /home/?

Thanks.

I found mine (I use Xfce4) using:

$cd ; find . -name '*rash'

This gives me several false positives, but one, .local/share/Trash,
seems to be the one Xfce4 uses. The others are various MUAs, I think.
