[QUOTE="charales, post: 1190240, member: 171977"] Hi, and thank you for your answer. I tried what you told me but it did nothing at all. I use OS X 10.6.6 in Spanish (I live in Spain), could that have suppose a Trash directory name change that would affect the command line you told me? Also, I tried to type "rm -rf" and drag these files and directories one by one, but some files have 0 KB weight and no modification date. Others simply do not disappear because of a "Permission denied" error. Error that I do not understand because I changed these directories and file's properties so that all users could modify/delete them. Could it be possible to erase them with another method, maybe deleting the Trash directory and creating a new one? Thanks [/QUOTE]
