[QUOTE="blues2use, post: 1514101, member: 276605"] I've tried using the Option key, the Command key, Secure Delete, Onyx, and Cocktail as well as this and other variations of this command: sudo rm -ri ~/.Trash The [B]terminal output[/B] for [B]lsof[/B] for the files in question is: lsof /Volumes/Seagate2tb/.Trashes/501/Adobe /Volumes/Seagate2tb/.Trashes/501/MISC\ files\ Mint\ 13\ Desktop /Volumes/Seagate2tb/.Trashes/501/MISC\ files\ Ubuntu\ 1204\ from\ old\ Mint\ 13\ Desktop /Volumes/Seagate2tb/.Trashes/501/Notes\ and\ System\ Info The files absolutely will not delete and using Command-I they are shown as zero byte files and unlocked. I have also used Disk Utility to repair permissions and the drive where the files were originally stored...no effect... I'm completely baffled... [/QUOTE]
