[QUOTE="EvenStranger, post: 1290156, member: 181804"] Ok... Next thing I'd try is booting to the recovery partition (reboot, hold Command-r), and running Repair Disk and Permissions Repair from Disk Utility there. I find that running it from the OS, especially if there's already a problem, doesn't do as thorough a job. Apart from that, there's a good chance that the ownership of the .Trash folder or the permissions for the folder got hosed at some point. The folder itself is invisible, but can be viewed at Finder->Go menu->Go to Folder->Users->yourusername->.Trash [/QUOTE]
