MacBook - Secure Delete
Hey guys,
I'm having an issue with secure deleting my trash.
An error keeps popping up, saying that "the item htm is in use".
I'm a little clueless on what to look for.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Cool
Reboot your system, should get you around that error. You have a hung process that is holding that file/document open, so you can not delete it.
