[QUOTE="Wazzybot, post: 621557, member: 51725"] I recently ran in to some trouble on my MacBook. I was copying some files from another harddisk, and when i moved them to my trash I was unable to empty the trash because it said "it couldn't get access to certain files as they were locked" .. I found out how to unlock them, or so i thought. For some reason i couldn't erase the tick in the little box that says "Lock". I also tried moving the file back to the other harddisk which didn't work either as it just took a copy of the original file, and left it in the trash.. So I have no idea what to do now.. It's annoying having 600MB of useless junk taking up space by just being in my trash.. Can anybody help me with this problem? Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
