Hi Steven. Thank you for that explanation, all is clear now. I'd had problems 
in Gentoo with my / partition redlining at 98%. Someone on a list suggested 
what DL'd distfiles I could get rid of, so I merrily went in there with the 
superuser file manager, and using send to trash (the only apparent option), 
proceeded to get rid of the lot, only to find myself still redlining at 98%, 
and the trash can on the desktop empty. After some hunting, I 
found /root/.local/share/Trash/files  &  info. (Incidentally it's a good job 
I don't keep the hidden files hidden, as I may never have found these Trash 
files). Having found all this stuff still lurking on the harddrive, I used 
the commeand line to get rid of them. This time permanently. Great the 
redlines gone, and down to 73%. 

This afternoon, having seen your post, I thought I'd have a look on the FC3 
install in this same Trash directory. Here I find nearly !GB of stuff that I 
thought was gone and forgotten. I normally use apt-get clean to clean out 
the /var/cache/apt/archives, but as I have another FC3 install, and wanted to 
avoid DL'ing on dial-up all the updates again, I, again using superuser 
filemanager, got rid of (or thought I'd got rid of) all the older RPM's in 
the archive, then I copied the rest to a FAT32 partition that I'd set up for 
back-up stuff. 

Now you've explained the situation, I suppose I'd better check out all my 
distro's, but I do think it would have made more sense to have "delete" in 
the context menu as default along with send to trash, as when you seem to be 
presented with only one option (send to trash) you sort of think that the 
stuff you don't want is gone.  Or perhaps a superuser trashcan on the 
desktop. I did look for one in /usr/share/applications/kde, but no such luck.

Thanks again for making all clear. Nigel.
