Yes :)

On the command-line, as root:

urpme --auto-orphans

 

Of if you feel confident about it, still as root, edit the /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg, and between the curly brackets at the beginning, add a line with only this content:

auto-orphans

I don't know if this will work, but if it does, then it will be automatic each time you use the “Manage software†GUI tool, too.

 

Yves.

Thank you. That's what I needed.

I can recall when I used Ubuntu 9.10 it had a built in utility that cleaned uneeded packages that were installed in the system. Is there anything like that in Mandriva?

Here is what I did:

...

Thank you for the wonderful solution. It fixed my problem! What did that really do? Isn't Windows already mounted to the mount point?

Every time I click on the icon that shows my drive in dolphin it says a whole long sentence that I do not have enough privileges to mount the drive. I can open the drive once I run dolphin in root but that isn't a permanent solution to this problem. How can I resolve this problem? I included a screen shot for more reference to show what I am talking about.

How do I recover the file once I delete it?

Never mind I found how to recover it.

I still cant fix the problem.

EDIT: I fixed the problem. What i did is I restored that folder that was causing problems. Then I logged into the root account then deleted it.

Every time I delete the files inside the trash can it says that some files do not exist.

Edit: I did what willie said but before I did that I check the trash bin before I deleted it and it appears that nothing is inside of it when im logged into root. Once I check into it being a normal user it shows the files.

How do I do that?

I have a specific folder that I sent to the Trash in Mandriva 2009 One Edition that won't delete. How do I delete the locked file?
