Locating the “.Trash-1000” Folder

The .Trash-1000 folder is usually located in the root directory of each mounted filesystem. It is a hidden folder, meaning it starts with a . and is not visible by default. To see it, you need to enable the viewing of hidden files in your file manager or use the -a flag with the ls command in the terminal, like so:

ls -a /path/to/folder

Deleting the “.Trash-1000” Folder

Before proceeding with the deletion, it’s important to understand that deleting the .Trash-1000 folder may affect the “move to trash” function of your file manager. Therefore, it’s recommended to empty the folder instead of deleting it completely.

To delete the contents of the .Trash-1000 folder, open the terminal and type the following command:

sudo rm -rf /path/to/folder/.Trash-1000/*

In this command, sudo gives you root privileges, rm is the remove command, -rf is a combination of flags where -r or -R stands for recursive (to remove directories and their contents recursively), and -f stands for force (to ignore nonexistent files and arguments, and never prompt). /path/to/folder/.Trash-1000/* is the path to the .Trash-1000 folder.
