Why is the delete button greyed out on my Linux Mint?

Asked By CuriousCat42 On

I'm new to Linux Mint Cinnamon and I've noticed that the delete button for files is greyed out. I'm trying to delete my old Steam directory because it takes up a lot of space with games that I can't play on Linux, like Rainbow Six Siege. How can I fix this issue? Is there a way to "ungrey" the delete option, or should I use the terminal instead?

You could try using the terminal to delete files. Just navigate to the directory you want to delete from using `cd`, and then use the `rm` command. If you're deleting a folder, don't forget to add the `-r` flag to `rm`! Just be cautious with that command, as it's permanent.

Sounds like a plan, but isn't there a simpler way, like right-clicking? I just want to "ungrey" the delete button!
