All
am having problems with the 'Wastebin' with openSUSE 13.2 with it
rejecting large files and there being no 'Delete' option as in earlier
versions.

Does anyone know how to either increase 'wastrbin' capacity or to add a
'Delete' function into the drop down menu for the KDE version bundled in
the 13.2 install DVD.

The problem relates to large Audio '.WAV' files.

Alternatively does anyone know of a work-around please?

thanks in advance

Mik

I expect the "Wastebin" is a directory under /home, and presumably that filesystem is too small, too full, or your user has a quota limiting how much space it can use. Investigate along those lines and fix what needs to be fixed.

In the meantime, use rm from a terminal to delete files directly.

Best Regards,
Alex

I don't use Suse but found this:

https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/408422-Cannot-send-files-to-Trash

Its a bit old but the reply of 2 Dec gives some information that might
still be relevant!

Good luck

Dolphin -> Configure Dolphin -> Wastebin, should allow you to sort it.

A df -h should tell you if you are running out of space. If you are
using BTRFS you may be! If that is the case google 'snapper'. This is
the tool for managing and deleting BTRFS snapshots. (I found this out
the hard way!!)

I am running SuSE 13.2 with KDE 4.14.6.
