I wondered if anyone could help me. My mum is donating her old snow i-mac to a local school and wanted delete the personal files she's had stored on the hard drive but it won't allow her to delete anything, everytime we try and drag anything to the trash it comes up with an error message saying that it 'cannot be moved to the trash because it cannot be deleted'.
I've tried deleting some jpgs and they will delete ok but Word documents and old Quark documents won't delete. I've checked if the individual files are locked but they're not, does anyone have any idea why we can't delete these files or if anyone knows of another way we can try.
The i-mac is running on OSX 10.2.3
Any help much appreciated, thanks
