Re: Un-Erasable Folder

[Terry Holtrey]

Start your machine with the extensions off and try it then. If it is 
"in use" it is probably being used by an extension of some sort. The 
other option is the file erase tool in the old Norton Utilities.

 Good luck

It finally happened to me.
After years of using Macs, I finally got the "Rescued Items from Hard
Disk"  folder that can't be erased
It always gives a window with "Items in use", even when I started 
from
another disk..
I tried the "Mac Secrets" trick of renaming, etc., but I can't  erase
the renamed folder, so I'm back in square one.
Is there a way (ResEdit, etc.) to change something in the folder's 
deep
 >bowels, so it can be erased?
