I entered the following command sudo nautilus /home/
in terminal and copied a 2GB movie to the /home/ directory.
So, my home folder contains two folder :
- User directory (/home/User)
- Movie directory (/home/Movie)
Movie folder contains a 2GB file (/home/Movie/Movie.mp4)
. Then exited from the root mode (by closing the terminal).Now the free space in home folder shows 55GB.
After two days, I again entered the command sudo nautilus /home/
and became root. Then went to /home/Movie/
directory and deleted the file by just pressing deleted button( not Shift+ Delete
).
Then i left again from root mode by closing the teminal. Then checked the free space available and it showed 55GB. Aagain I became the root as said above and went to /home/Movie/
folder. The directory was blank.
So, clicked Trash button from the left pane of the folder. It showed a message box :
The folder content could not be displayed. Sorry, Could not dispaly all the contents of "trash": Operation not supported
. I use Ubuntu 12.04. Can any one help me to permanently delete the file and make free space of 57GB ? Thanks in advance.
