[nmglug] Mistake while emptying trash -- help

[Mark Galassi]

First, a strong caution: you absolutely do not want an "rm -rf *" in your shell's history.  I find that one way of avoiding possibly problems with repeating history while in the wrong dir is to do something like "rm -rf ../Trash/*"

As to your current question: if you just want to know the typical permissions on those dirs, below is what mine look like, so you can probably just do "mkdir files && chmod 700 files" and "mkdir info && chmod 700 info".

Trash $ pwd
/home/markgalassi/.local/share/Trash
Trash $ ls -la
