Hi folks, I have two files in my trash that refuse to delete. They are iMovie projects that I have dumped. There is no message when I empty the trash. They are simply still there each time I delete from the trash. I cannot find any other files anywhere that might be related to them. However there is no message to say that they are still in use. Any suggestions ? Regards, Stephen Chape
Get Info on the files and see whether or not they are showing as locked. If so, unlock them and try again.
If not, the best way is to launch Terminal (in /Applications/ Utilities). First, open the Trash window, then run Terminal. In the Terminal window, type "rm -R" (that's rm<space><hyphen>R, obeying case and without the quotes), then drag the file or folder you want to delete from the Trash window onto the Terminal window and press Return. The problem should go away.
