[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1454322, member: 110816"] You might want to check the ownership of the .Trash folder, open up a terminal and enter the following command [CODE] ls -l ~/.Trash [/CODE] You might see something like this: This indicates that the .Trash folder in your home directory is owned by 'root' and as such you will be prompted for the admin password every time. If this is indeed the case, you can fix it with: [CODE] sudo chown <username> ~/.Trash [/CODE] Replace <username> with your real username and enter the admin password.. [/QUOTE]
