thanks.

[nasserabiedoh]

no problem lol, you would see that file in the windows Operating System when you make the hidden files shown

[macheads101]

I saw that anyway. Just use

ls -la

in terminal

can you make a widget for this ?

No because it will not be able to check your external hds for trash and sudo won't work because there is no way to feed it your password through a widget.

You should add a disclaimer at least warning people 'DO it on your own risk" as this is requires rather knowledgable users to accomplish. As for me, it did not work out and it deleted my entire Hard Disk. I lost all my files.
