[QUOTE="pendlewitch, post: 1490492, member: 214663"] Check out some of the files, are they connected with some open applications or are they 'locked' like old Pages documents.You'll have to move them out to open/unlock them. Sometimes it's just sheer volume..if you move everything out into a desktop folder and then replace smaller groups back in you can empty it that way. You can also hold down the alt key whilst you press the Empty Trash option in the File menu. There is a support article here [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1526]You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash[/url] [/QUOTE]
