[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1348531, member: 71075"] I'm not sure what you've done but it sounds as if the permissions to the Trash folder itself has been changed. By default, the trash folder for each user has "700" permissions (that's Unix notation). Let's first of all check the permissions on that folder. Open up Terminal and type the following:[code]ls -la | grep ~/.Trash[/code]You should get something very similar to the following:[code]drwx------ 4 vansmith staff 136 1 Jan 19:13 .Trash[/code]We're interested in the first column (the drwx------). That tells us what the permissions are. The d at the beginning tells us that we're dealing with a directory. The nine characters after it can be broken down into three groups. The first three characters represent your permissions (in this case, you have read (r), write (w) and execute (x) permissions), the second three are group permissions and the final three are "other." As you can tell, we're interested in the first three. [/QUOTE]
