I recently installed an application called Dragster. I decided I wasn't going to use it and now want to remove it. I sent it to the trash but now I can't empty my trash. I keep getting a message saying there is files in use. I tried removing these files but they just come back. How do I get rid of it???

Make sure you have quit the app before emptying the trash. If that doesn't work, hold down the Option/Alt key while emptying the trash. This is supposed to allow the trash to get rid of locked items.

If that doesn't work, restart the computer and try emptying the trash again while holding down the Option key.

Dragster installs plug-ins. Here is a link from the Ambrosia website about uninstalling.
