Troubleshooting for common issues with Jupyterlab

Deleting files

If you are experiencing issues deleting files form the Jupyterlab IDE here is how you go about fixing it.

First you need to find your Jupyter config file. It will most likely be located at /home/USERNAME/.jupyter.

cd into that directory:

cd /home/$(whoami)/.jupyter

ls and look for the file named jupyter_server_config.py. If you do not see the file, run:

jupyter server --generate-config

Now edit the jupyter_server_config.py:

EDITOR jupyter_server_config.py

Look for the config option c.FileContentsManager.delete_to_trash. If it is set to True, change it to False.

Now you should be able to delete files in Jupyterlab. 👍
