Hi When I try to delete very large directory 90gb the waste bin says its full. The directory (and contents are not removed), I do not want to go down to individual directories and slowly delete the data. How do I set up the wastebin to allow to remove these large directories? Thanks All

Under which desktop environment?
The wastebin has an upper size limit, normally 10% of your /home partition. If it can't fit in the files you want to remove,
then you can't remove them, but you can still delete them. Under KDE, press Shift+Delete for that, that removes files/directories
directly without putting them in the wastebin, but they're really gone then.
