Deleting files and foldersTo use Konqueror to delete either a file or a directory from the file system, follow these steps: 1.Browse to the file or directory s location. 2.Choose the file(s) or folder(s) you want to delete. You can do so by: Holding Shift down and then clicking at the end of the row orcolumn that you want to select. (These items all must be lined up straight.) Holding Ctrl down and clicking each individual item you want toselect. Clicking and dragging your mouse button so that you make a boxthat contains all the items you want to select. 3.Delete your file or folder. To do so, either: Press the Delete key and say that yes, you want to move this itemor these items to the Trash. Right-click over the item(s) and choose either Delete to perma- nently remove the file or Move To Trash to give yourself the optionto back up and pull it back out of the Trash later. Taking out the trashYou can permanently delete the contents of your Trash folder by followingthese steps: 1.Right-click the Trash icon. This action opens a shortcut menu. 2.Choose Empty Trash Bin. Linux permanently removes the items in the Trash folder. You can tellwhether your waste can is empty by looking at it. If nothing s in there, it s empty; if you see papers in it, you have files in the Trash. Viewing and changing permissionsEvery file in Linux (and other forms of Unix) has a set of permissions thatgovern who is allowed to access it, run it, delete it, and so on. These permis- sions are used to make sure that people can t mess with the system s files, or each other s, so they re pretty important. See the section A permissionsprimer, later in this chapter, for a breakdown file permissions in general. Ifocus here on how to work with them in the GUI. 207Chapter 10: Manipulating Files and Directories16_
