How to restore a user's .Trash folder
Authored by: luomat on Dec 20, '06 02:59:31PM

Although you might THINK that rm -rf ~/.Trash/* would work, it DID NOT in reality, because according to the shell there were no visible files in there.

I always forget about the "Option" option when deleting trash.

Yeah I know I could have logged out or rebooted, but I thought this was going to be simpler.

@zacht: as soon as I deleted ~/.Trash/ the problem went away, so it wasn't an issue of the file being in /.Trashes/* but thanks for the link. Importing into Yojimbo now :-)
