This is a dual boot machine. I'm going to boot winders and try to delete the file that way.
Yeah. finally something useful from winders. I deleted the directory and everything. The file didn't even show up when I booted into windows. Must have purged when I rebooted.
Thanks for the help all.
I did try the lsof .fuse command, and got this:
silverfox@silverfox-Metron:~$ lsof .fuse
lsof: status error on .fuse: No such file or directory
lsof 4.93.2

I used HTop and found a fuse entry running as root. When I attempted to install the program it asked for my user password. When I tried to kill the process, nothing happened.

I suspect the file size is being mis-reported. I terminated the torrent after observing it would take over 24 hours to download.

The download came from medicatusb.com. I also used github after the first installation terminated. These were all torrent downloads.
Yes, I have Timeshift installed and operating. The prior backup goes to the 26th. However, the .fuse file in question resides on a data drive, not the...
Tried to install Medicat, a really useful application that includes Ventoy. I aborted the install as it ran into some problem. However, it left me with a .fuse file that is locked by an application that likely has already terminated. When I try to delete the file- 23 gbytes, it appears to go...
So I executed the command on a different system and this is what I received in response. What does this mean? If I can understand the response on this system, I may be able to understand the response on the target.
I will run the command on the system in question in the morning.
Again, the...

On installation from an USB stick, the questions asked as to which partition to install. I don't know where to direct the installation of the boot loader. I have a windows partition that I don't want to overwrite. I want the installation to dual boot. However, there is an existing...
Well I'm back. Sometimes if you ignore a problem, it will go away. That was the case this time. Well, sorta. When booting into Linux with 0 bytes, the error message has three options. One of which is to, "Ignore". I chose that this time and the system booted. I was able to start Time Shift, and...
I just recalled, I have a usb drive with MX-Linux installed. If I boot that, what if I resize the partition? Problem I'm having with gparted and the other tool is: I can't get the resize option to function. I think it's something to do with the way I'm using it. Do I have to unmount a drive to...

Brave browser indicated there is no space left and suggested I clear some cookies. Brave then locked up. I rebooted the system using the shut down or reboot option. Upon loading, very tiny text appeared that I did not have time to read, followed by regular sized text message indicating...
