[QUOTE="pimsche, post: 1128362, member: 176308"] Hey all, I have a problem with my trash as it seems. I checked the forums and saw a lot of people before me had problems putting their trash in the trash bin, alltho with those people it gave a warning that the item would be deleted right away. Here is my problem: As soon as I try to move something to the trash, I hear the empty trash sound (without giving a warning, and yes i checked the warning under prefences ;) ) and when i check the trash can, nothing's in there. Also, my disk space doesn't increase, so it doesn't actually remove the file from the hard drive. *edit: It does remove it from the directory it was when deleting! I tried things that helped people with (merely) similar problems found on this and other forums, including repairing disk permissions, remaking the .Trash and .Trashes folders, removing com.apple.finder.plist (prefences file) but nothing seems to work! I'm about to reinstall OSX alltogeather, but please if any of you has some other suggestions let me know! Thanx, pimsche [/QUOTE]
