[QUOTE="TheTrueMoron, post: 686326, member: 56164"] The problem isn't that there is something keeping me from emptying the trash, the problem is that there is no way to just delete something from the Journaled partition on the external drive. The only thing I can do is transfer the file to the trash, but it still stays on the external drive and when I go to empty the trash it could take almost an entire day to delete the transferred backup file. Doesn't OSX have a simple way to just simply delete something from an external drive? Extra question: Is there a way to restore files to their original place from the Trash or do I just have to drag it into another folder? [/QUOTE]
