The other day the lights went out and when I rebooted, there's an empty directory that can't be erased. This directory is a subdirectory in ~/.kde4/ The funny thing about this is that I can rename the directory, but I can't delete it: [root@mine albumcovers]# ls . .. cache [root@mine albumcovers]# ls -lah cache/ total 0 drwx------ 1 rafa users 6 Jan 10 02:23 . drwx------ 3 rafa users 18 Jan 10 02:23 ..
