I cannot delete .Trash-503 folder via GUI or terminal,
it returns a $RECYCLE.BIN.trashinfo: Input/output error
Even sudo rm -r or even an ls works in that directory.
Check terminal output below:
subroot@subroot:~$ cd /media/xxxxx/
subroot@subroot:/media/xxxxx$ rm .Trash-503/
rm: cannot remove `.Trash-503/': Is a directory
subroot@subroot:/media/xxxxx$ rm -r .Trash-503/
rm: cannot remove `.Trash-503/info/$RECYCLE.BIN.trashinfo': Input/output error
rm: cannot remove `.Trash-503/info/found.000.trashinfo': Input/output error
rm: cannot remove `.Trash-503/info': Directory not empty
subroot@subroot:/media/BONJOUR$ sudo rm -r .Trash-503/
[sudo] password for subroot:
rm: cannot remove `.Trash-503/info/$RECYCLE.BIN.trashinfo': Input/output error
rm: cannot remove `.Trash-503/info/found.000.trashinfo': Input/output error
subroot@subroot:/media/xxxxx$ cd .Trash-503/
subroot@subroot:/media/xxxxx/.Trash-503$ ls
info
subroot@subroot:/media/xxxxx/.Trash-503$ cd info/
subroot@subroot:/media/xxxxx/.Trash-503/info$ ls
ls: cannot access $RECYCLE.BIN.trashinfo: Input/output error
ls: cannot access found.000.trashinfo: Input/output error
found.000.trashinfo  $RECYCLE.BIN.trashinfo
subroot@subroot:/media/xxxxx/.Trash-503/info$
What's going on here and how can I delete this folder?
