Whenever I want to delete old Clonezilla images, I have to do so as root.
Images are stored on a second drive that has no O.S.
Can I make it to where all files on that drive are owned by me?
Open caja as root with the following command:
gksu caja
Navigate to the file/folder in question.
Right click it and change permissions so that it is owned by you in all respects.
See example below:
Thanks, that was fairly easy.
I did so.
It did not work.
When Clonezilla made an image, it was owned by root.
I guess I could use chown.
How would I use wildcard with this ->12-26-2017-13-img ?It doesn’t matter if it is initially owned by root. If you open Caja as root you can change the permission of any file/folder to yourself.
However, if you want to do it via a terminal, you can also use chown in the following way:
sudo chown <username> -R <filename>I want to avoid doing that each time I clone my disk.
Thanks.

Bash# where there is a shell, there is a way…
You bet.
Bash is so much more advanced than Windows bat files as to be embarrassing.
I am sure they are working on these items.
