[SOLVED] Random issue: cannot move stuff to trash in Thunar

As the title says... I cannot delete files as user. I can do all that in root mode... Please advise how to change the properties of trash appropriately.

thanks

check the permissions of ~/.local/share/Trash

On my machine it is

drwx------ 5 skunk skunk 4096 Sep 11 11:38 Trash

I dont know how to do the exact thing you did but I checked under properties and it says owner is Root. So how do I change that?

# check permissions
ls -l ~/.local/share/Trash

# fix permissions (to match skunk's)
chown you:you ~/.local/share/Trash
chmod 700 ~/.local/share/Trash
