How do I unlock PDF files???

I'm trying to uninstall a version of Dreamweaver. All goes well except for the pdf files it installed. When I try to delete them from the trash I get a pop-up stating that they can't be removed because they are locked.

...I'm a recent switcher. Thanks for the help.

right click or ctrl+click on the file, click get info, and uncheck the lock file box. if it is unchecked, check the permissions.

The box was not checked so, I looked under the permissions tab. There was a lock icon next to the owner tab (me of course), it was locked. I clicked on it and then it appeared unlocked. I moved the files to the trash again, same thing. No go. ???

Thanks,
Jason

You can try pressing the option key and then select empty the trash from the pull down menu. That should do a force empty trash.

Hey thanks. I did finally get it to work. I was trying to unlock the folder containing other folders. When I opened them individually, it worked like a charm.

I'm trying to get the hang of this new system. My bigest problem thus far seems to be me trying to make it more complicated.

Thanks...a bunch.
