[QUOTE="MancmacUK, post: 1243631, member: 200521"] Trashing doesn't actually delete the item(s), it just marks them as unwanted, so the USB stick needs to be in USB slot for this to happen. As to permission, can you do a straight empty trash ? If you restart the MacBook, can you then secure trash ? Try pressing alt key when you click on trash. Or use a prog called iEmpty. Deletes every time I have an error message. [/QUOTE]
