for N900.. i was testing out the application Photorec and after i did, all the things it recovered were saved in the file home/user, i believe. is there anyway i can access that file
Edit:
I m not 100% sure where it has saved those files it recovered but i know that my conky shows i have 0 space in home.
Got confused by the title first.. U stated user/home , different thn what you stated inside.. bt i understood
.Though I hope it helps. You can also use the find function if you remember the file name

To delete the file , you can always do rm or rmdir depending on what you are tryin to do with.
Try deleting it without using sudo first
navigate to the folder containing that file and do rm <file name>
Make sure you know what you're doing.

well i have located the files i need to delete using your technique you have given me on terminal.
i cant locate the file manual through folder manager so i have to delete them using terminal.
i have tried using rm (Filename) however i get a message "rm (Filename) is a directory"
does this mean i have to do something esle to delete them
thank you
Edit, i tried using rmdir but i get this message "rmdir: (filename): directory not empty"

In the mean while you can always go to the folder inside and do "rm * " that should remove the files ( if there are no folders) and then you can come out and remove the folder.
If i remember that way to force deletion, I will post it here .
Lemme know if it works

Actually -rf means recursive + force so You shouldn't use it losely... 
If You run an rm -rf in the wrong place it will remove the directory and everything below it...
An rm -rf / for example is a very bad idea...
If unsure You might want to add the i option (-rfi). This way it will prompt You before removing anything...
Output of rm --help:

Output of rm --help:
Code:
Usage: rm [OPTION]... FILE...
Remove (unlink) the FILE(s).
-f, --force ignore nonexistent files, never prompt
-i prompt before every removal
-I prompt once before removing more than three files, or
when removing recursively. Less intrusive than -i,
while still giving protection against most mistakes
--interactive[=WHEN] prompt according to WHEN: never, once (-I), or
always (-i). Without WHEN, prompt always
--one-file-system when removing a hierarchy recursively, skip any
directory that is on a file system different from
that of the corresponding command line argument
--no-preserve-root do not treat `/' specially
--preserve-root do not remove `/' (default)
-r, -R, --recursive remove directories and their contents recursively
-v, --verbose explain what is being done
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
By default, rm does not remove directories. Use the --recursive (-r or -R)
option to remove each listed directory, too, along with all of its contents.
To remove a file whose name starts with a `-', for example `-foo',
use one of these commands:
rm -- -foo
rm ./-foo
Note that if you use rm to remove a file, it is usually possible to recover
the contents of that file. If you want more assurance that the contents are
truly unrecoverable, consider using shred.
