shanenin Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 (edited) Thanks that will come in handy :-)this question led to another. I ended up using konqueror to remove the file. I r-clicked and sent it to my trash. I can not seem to find this file, or am not even sure what directory kde used for trash.edit added later//I do have a .Trash directory, but it is empty. I am still not sure where all of the stuff I moved to my trash went. Edited February 19, 2006 by shanenin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
