    Were you manipulating some sort of memory card you took out from the frame? Or was the frame hooked to your computer as some sort of usb drive when you did the move to trash and attempted to delete the trash directory? Commented Feb 23 at 20:32
  • The photo frame was connected via usb and i was trying to delete things via Dolphin gui but that created the .trash folder and now it wont let me delete it because the things in it are read only file system Commented Feb 23 at 20:43

    So it is possible for you to copy photos to the frame via dolphin (or cp) and rm them, but just not this trash directory or anything inside it? Commented Feb 24 at 10:57
  • yes i am able to transfer files with both dolphin and in terminal but i cant not remove the folders inside the trash or the .trash-1000 folder itself, as it says they are read only Commented Feb 24 at 16:17
  • Hmm so you can't even remove the file inside the directory through like "Empty Trash" of the "Trash Bin"? (Do you see the files through the "Trash Bin" -- by that I don't mean browsing the trash directory of the drive -- I hope you get what I mean) I suppose you know where the drive is mounted so can you run findmnt -R on the mountpoint and add the output to your post? (Btw, I don't suppose any fstab entry is involved? You have been relying your DE to mount it through udisks2, right? -- basically automount triggered by your DE or "point and click" to have it mounted) Commented Feb 24 at 19:46
