[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1508438, member: 71075"] That wasn't a fix as much as it was using a different tool to remove the file. You could do what I did above for each file (if there aren't many). If there a lot, you could put them all into a folder, enter the following, drag the folder to the Terminal window and press enter:[code]rm -rf[/code]So, if the folder was located at /Volumes/Media\ Backup/DeleteMe/ (I'm not very creative, haha), the command would look like this:[code]rm -rf /Volumes/Media\ Backup/DeleteMe/[/code] [/QUOTE]
