[QUOTE="blues2use, post: 1514080, member: 276605"] Running 10.8.3 Mountain Lion on my Imac (1TB HD 12GB ram). I have 4 zero byte files in the trash that were originally deleted from a Seagate 2TB external hard drive (which is always connected but is [B]not my dedicated Time Machine drive[/B]). I have tried every method I've found on the internet to empty them from the trash but nothing removes them. I also used my Windows laptop with the drive to try to remove them from .Trash but nothing happens when I click delete. The dialog box closes and they are still there. The only thing I have found is that the Mac system thinks they are in use and I have run many terminal commands to try to remedy that without success. Apparently this is an ongoing problem. Does anyone have any other suggestions or ideas? [B]Thanks[/B] [/QUOTE]
