How can I find the total size of the contents of my Trash folder?

trash filesystem

Is there any way I can find out exactly how much is in my Trash folder? I can see the size column, but if I have a folder in the trash, it shows the number of items in the folder rather than the total size of the items in the folder.


From a terminal:

du -hs ~/.local/share/Trash

You can right click on folders in the trash (and those not in the trash) and select Properties to see the total size.

If you want to see the total size of your trash, press Ctrl+a to select everything, and then right click and select Properties.

Item properties


Select all the elements in Trash folder (Ctrl + a), right click and see Properties.
