Re: [Bug 998033] Re: Empty Trash deleted all file in home directory

 

Hi,
that's very unfortunate, I hope you didn't lose anything important :-/

Can we have more details ? For instance, were there some filenames
with non-ASCII characters, like chinese/accents/etc ?
Were there some links inside the trash (links shouldn't be followed of
course, but ...) ?

Thanks for the details.
