I've had three folders on my external HDD for quite a while now, and they are all locked so when i delete the folder they are in i then cant empty them from the recycle bin.

Is there a program or way to either unlock these files I cant unlock (I've tried clicking the lock box thing) or to just delete them without unlocking?

In Terminal.app you can copy paste (BE VERY CAREFUL) this:

sudo rm-rf

Then drag the "locked" files and drop them in the Terminal Window.

It will then look like this (showing the path to the files) **Make sure there is a space between the f and the File Path (~/blahblah/blah/blah):

Sudo rm -rf ~/Desktop/FolderName/fileToBeDeleted

Press ENTER
You will be prompted for your Password.
type in your Admin password... You will not see the characters as you type.
Press ENTER after typing your password.

Viola! Your files are gone!

You didn't read everything... there MUST be a SPACE between the f and the ~

Also... Are you on a Mac??? I believe Recycle.bin is Windows... ???\

EDIT... I see you did it twice... the second time you did it Correct. There may be an issue with Recycle.bin file

okay ride i'll give that a go. It's all a bit confusing for me.

And giulio, yes. I have used a pc before to try and delete the files. And it got them out of my mac recycle bin but now they are just in the HDD.

try:

Quote:

chmod -Rf 777 /Volumes/1TB/

and then:

sudo rm -rf /Volumes/1TB/\$RECYCLE.BIN

I'm such a ghee-nyus. haha
Well, if the above commands I gave do not work. Try plugging that volume back into the pc and empty the recycle bin. That's what the "$RECYCLE.BIN" folder is - the window's recycle bin.

Is that volume mounted read+write BTW, or read-only?
