Thanks. Strange place to put it but it's there, thanks.

Now, I see both a files and an info directory. I guess I have to clean
them both up by hand as root?

I'm not understanding how Gnome allowed me to move the files to trash
but won't let me move them out of trash. Or am I missing some sort of
Undelete function that I should be seeing but for some reason am not?

Thanks,
Mark
