If you copy all the files you want to keep, off the disk, then erase the disk, you will be done quickly. But, time may not be as important to you as it is to me.I just want to delete 1 or 2 files not the whole disk
Open Terminal. Type this:
cd
There is a space after the cd. Drag the icon of the external disk to Terminal. It will look like this:
cd /Volumes/nameofdrive Press Enter.
Type cd .Trashes
Now type: ls -a
You will get a list. You should see whatever is in the Trash.
Now type: rm -r *.*
If you did everything right (make sure), that command will delete EVERYTHING in the .Trashes folder.
If you're not in the .Trashes folder it will delete everything in whatever folder you're in, that's why I said make sure.
If it says something like "operation not permitted" do the command again but put sudo in front of it.
It will ask for your password. Your login password. Make sure it's right because you wont see it as you're typing.
Any Help??
A Big thanks to everyone decided to Erase all
