Re: OSX File Deletion Problem

Thanks for the tips. The one that worked was to boot from OS 9.2, then 
go to
Users, (myfile), then Desktop and drag the offending files to the 
Trash.
That worked perfectly.

Glad to hear it worked!

The files in question were Internet Explorer files that had been 
damaged but
were still controlled by IE, which prevented them from actually being 
put in
the Trash. So BatCHMod's "Force Empty Trash" and OnyX's similar program
didn't work.

I have noticed that IE's cache/temp files have a tendency to become 
troublesome. They are the only damaged files that I have come across 
that couldn't be removed by non-Terminal OS X methods.

I might suggest to you that it's time to audition a new default 
browser. I like and use Safari (though I keep a copy of Mozilla around 
as well).

Claiming that the Macintosh is inferior to Windows because most people 
use Windows is like saying that all other restaurants are inferior to 
McDonald's.
