alexthunderstorm Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Hello guys, i want to delete a folder with some files in it. Its no longer in use (Nextcloud and MariaDB are no longer installed). But i cannot delete it via krusader nor terminal/console. I tried the following. Any ideas what i am doing wrong? I created a folder on /appdata and deleted it successfully. I am on OS v6.12.5. Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 The first line in your screenshot refers to /mnt/user/appdata/Nextcoud22 while the others seem to be referring to /mnt/user/appdata/Nextcloud22 which is not the same as there is an extra ‘l’ in the name. Quote Link to comment

Thanks for the reply. You are right, i miswrote it in the first line. However the command sudo rm /mnt/user/appdata/nextcloud22 also has the same output: rm: cannot remove '/mnt/user/appdata/nextcloud22': No such file or directory And i dont know why, because the directory exists...

itimpi Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Are you sure it is not the directory without the 'l' that exists as the screenshot suggested. Quote Link to comment
alexthunderstorm Posted December 6, 2023 Author Share Posted December 6, 2023 yes you are right again But then the first command line should have worked right? without the "l" i just tried: sudo rm -r /mnt/cache/appdata/nextcoud22 and sudo rm -r /mnt/user/appdata/nextcoud22 and still same error. Still cannot delete it via Krusader... Quote Link to comment
