[QUOTE="herkalees, post: 192056, member: 15101"] I've got a folder in my user folder, well I have a few; my real one, the one called 'shared', and a third one I accidentally made. I want to delete this third one, but everytime I drag it to the trash barrel, I get the following: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." Fine, so I 'get info' and set all permissions to read and write for me; I am the only admin and only user on the whole computer... Still won't let me delete this folder. It appears to be empty, but when I 'get info', there is 15.8 MB of something in there... Any ideas? -------------------------------------------------- Also, when I delete anything, I get the box which announces that my file-to-be-deleted will skip the trash bin and go away. Where can I find the setting where items actually DO go to my trash bin? [/QUOTE]
