[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1190443, member: 71075"] You can add sudo in front of that rm command:[code]sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*[/code]That will give you root privileges which will allow you to delete any file. When sudo asks for your password, enter your own password. As for the name of the Trash, I have no idea if it is named differently. You'll have to tell me that ;). [/QUOTE]
