[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 562579, member: 38864"] Use MainMenu to run the full gamut of maintenance scripts and cache cleaners. If you still can't empty the trash, then log into a different user with administrative privileges, use MainMenu to enable Finder to show invisible files, then navigate to your "troubled" user's home folder and delete the entire .trashes folder from there. Don't worry... it will get recreated when you log back in. Don't forget to empty the trash in that 2nd user before logging out. [/QUOTE]
