[QUOTE="herkalees, post: 192071, member: 15101"] I made a new, empty folder on the desktop, then dragged it to the trash bin; it resulted in the same thing: it skipped going into the trash bin. I did what you said above, and here is the result in Terminal: drwx------ 3 root admin 102 Mar 4 09:42 .Trash I'm confused, but uneducated. My username in Preferences > Users is "Marc Amos" and it is definitely admin, and the only one. In Finder, the Home folder is called "marcamos", and the computer named it this by itself. I'm guessing that I should see "marcamos" as an owner in that string output from terminal? No? Ha, thanks for helping, I'm such a point-and-click n00b. [/QUOTE]
