[QUOTE="lawcodename, post: 827406, member: 95106"] Hi all, I had exactly the same problem, and here's how I fixed it. I had this problem with a file in my Mac OS trash I couldn't delete with this date. Do you, by chance, have Windows installed on your Mac via Boot Camp, Parallels, or other program? The cause was a corrupted file in Windows. I went into Windows, and tried to delete the .Trashes folder on the C: drive. When it wouldn't let me delete the folder, I went to the C: drive, right clicked it, chose Properties, and checked the C: drive (chose "automatically fix the system errors" box). Then rebooted Windows, which ran the disk check. It found he error in the .Trashes folder, converted it to a file, and I could then go to the C: drive, find the .Trashes file, and delete it. Once I did that, the file in my Mac OS trash was gone. [/QUOTE]
