Re: [libreoffice-users] delete/trash

Hi :)
You can open Nautilus by just opening any folder.  That opens the file-browser called Nautilus.  
Hopefully you can navigate to your files in there.  

Other file-browsers are good too but it's worth sticking with the default one until you have got 
the idea.  Ubuntu's default is Nautilus, Xubuntu's is Thunar, Kubuntu's is either Konqueror or 
Dolphin i'm never sure and it's not something you really need to know unless you are using that 
particular distro.  

Generally you can't right-click on stuff in the save/open dialogue boxes in Gnu&Linux but you can 
from the normal file-browser.  At 1st i found that quite limiting but then i found the file-browser 
can have tabs like web-browsers do and that made up for it.  :)
Regards from
Tom :)

Deleting a document is not something you do from within LibreOffice.  It's something you do from 
the operating system.

I suggest you open Nautilus in Ubuntu, navigate to the folder where the document you wish to delete 
is located, and then try right click.

Alternatively, if you save the new document with the same name as the old one, LibreOffice should 
write over the old one, first asking you if this is what you want.
