I am having no joy over on the Apple forum so thought I'd try here.
Basically, my trash will not empty. It's not anything to do with any file in the trash, it seems to be a finder problem. Trying to empty trash causes Finder to stall. I have to relaunch finder. Sometimes if I right click and hold on the bin I can empty trash by selecting empty trash from the pop up. Sometimes when I relaunch finder a window showing my user files pops up out of nowhere.
This is what I've done: Verified disk - it needed repairing so did this to the letter, now getting Disk OK messages. Repaired permissions zillions of times. Booted into safe mode - problem persists. Installed Trash it! application. This will make the bin empty - mostly. Thrown away finder prefs, sidebar prefs, used terminal to empty and recreate my trash directory. Ran Onyx for Leopard. This worked once.
A clue: When I log out and log back in as another user the trash works fine.
Can anyone help?
