When I booted my computer, I noticed:
- that the Trash icon was missing from File Manager;
- this message when I tried to delete a file:
Are you sure that you want to permanently delete "testFile"?
If you delete a file, it is permanently lost.
- that I can't restore already deleted files to their previous locations. I can do it manually, but there is no restore feature
I tired apt-get update, apt-get update, apt-get update --fix-missing to try to repair anything broken.
Everything was working fine yesterday. However, I've been working on a java project to send files to trash. I made it about a month ago, so I am not sure if it is relevant, but here is the test code:
public class SendToTrashTest
{
public static void main(String... args)
{
try {
File f=new File("test11");
f.createNewFile();
sendToTrash(f);
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void sendToTrash(File f)
{
try {
String s[]=f.getAbsolutePath().split(File.separator);
String baseName=s[s.length-1],name=baseName;
File trashInfoFile=new File(System.getProperty("user.home")+"/.local/share/Trash/info",name+".trashinfo");
//handles duplicate files
for(int i=2;trashInfoFile.exists();i++)
{
name=baseName+="."+i;
trashInfoFile=new File(System.getProperty("user.home")+"/.local/share/Trash/info",name+".trashinfo");
}
//moves file to trash
File trashFile=new File(System.getProperty("user.home")+"/.local/share/Trash/files",name);
Files.move(f.toPath(), trashFile.toPath(), StandardCopyOption.REPLACE_EXISTING);
//creates trash info file which is used to restore the trash file
DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
trashInfoFile.createNewFile();
PrintWriter out=new PrintWriter(trashInfoFile);
out.println("[Trash Info]");
out.println("Path="+f.getAbsolutePath());
//eg deletetion date: DeletionDate=2014-03-01T23:38:18
out.println("DeletionDate="+dateFormat.format(cal.getTime()).replace(" ", "T"));
out.close();
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I have no idea of how to fix my problem, so any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.
