When I press the delete key on a file, or try to move it to the trash, natilus crashes and closes.

In a terminal i get this error:
** Error in `nautilus': corrupted double-linked list: 0x00007f4518002250 ***

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Same here, only the message is:
*** Error in `nautilus': double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x00007f745001ad20 ***

[Marcelo Escobal (marcelo-escobal)]

Same happens when trying to delete using pop-up menu

Might be related to #1512826.

Try if the fix landed if wily-proposed fixed this as well.

Same here on Ubuntu 15.10 x64 while deleting a file from a NTFS mounted partition.

This also happens with Thunar

This may be associated with the fact that I have my home directory on a different file system from root. With Ubuntu 12.04 it would simply say you cannot move files to trash and would ask if you would like to delete them instead. With 15.10 it crashes Nautilus or Thunar instead of offering that option. With 15.10 you can get around this problem by enabling "Delete" in preferences and then using Shift-Delete to delete files.

Sorry for the multiple posts. - I resolved the problem on my system by deleting the /home/username/.local/share/Trash directory. Then when deleting a file from Nautilus or Thunar, it re-created the Trash directory and after that it successfully moves deleted files to trash and no longer crashes Nautilus or Thunar.
