deleting files from trash bin

How do you empty trash bin?

I did not know that you can delete file from Trash bin by holding left button with cursor on bin!

Are you asking a question or telling us what you learned? Your second post seems to indicate you figured out how to empty the trash.

Or Finder > Empty trash!

I empty the trash bin using the Finder in the Apple pull-down menus and make a selection from a number of choices. Can also use the keyboard commands shown in the attached jpeg. I like the method you found of pressing the Right Arrow while on the Trash Bin and selecting Open or Empty; saves a step especially since I usually do the basic Empty command.


Actually, just holding your cursor on any icon in the Dock will give Options from which to select. For the Trash Bin the options are Open or Empty Trash.

I think that would be your other left. You get a pop-up with Empty Trash as a choice. If you use the actual left mouse button on the Trash icon in the Dock, it opens in a Finder window.

Hit the Quote button below the comment you want to respond to. You can then edit out things you do not want to focus on, then type your message after the /QUOTE] (I left out the first [ on purpose.)

If you want to reply to two or more different posts in a single reply, hit the MultiQuote Off button, which seems misnamed to me. (Why wouldn't it be MultiQuote On?) You can do this for as many comments as you want, but your reply window will fill up, and you'll have to interject your response between the /QUOTE] and the next [QUOTE. (Again, leaving out the brackets strategically so that it won't activate the actual quote function.)
