[QUOTE="cradom, post: 1514547, member: 305283"] Do this: cd /Volumes/Seagate2tb/.Trashes/501 ls Adobe Mint13 Misc1204 Notes sudo -rf *.* (this is assuming you want to delete ALL files in Trash) If not: sudo rm -rf Adobe (or whatever filename) See if it works. If those are directories, drill down til you get to a file and try it. EDIT: just for giggles, try a ls -la on those dirs. Should look like this: drwxr-xr-x+ 98 staff 3.3K May 7 18:38 ./ drwxr-xr-x 6 admin 204B Feb 23 21:34 ../ -rw------- 1 staff 3B Jan 13 2012 .CFUserTextEncoding -rw-r--r--@ 1 staff 15K May 6 19:06 .DS_Store -rw------- 1 staff 1.5K Apr 11 18:54 .ICEauthority drwx------ 2 staff 68B May 8 03:18 .Trash/ -rw------- 1 staff 57B May 7 18:38 .Xauthority drwxr-xr-x 2 staff 68B Jul 18 2012 .Xcode/ drwxr-xr-x 4 staff 136B Jan 14 2012 .adobe/ drwxr-xr-x 10 staff 340B Jan 28 18:28 .android/ -rw------- 1 staff 7.5K May 8 03:28 .bash_history -rw-r--r--@ 1 staff 968B May 7 17:52 .bash_profile -rw-r--r--@ 1 staff 589B Apr 8 15:07 .bash_profile.macports-saved_2013-04-11_at_14:33:25 -rw-r--r--@ 1 staff 1.3K Mar 1 2012 .bashrc drwxr-xr-x 8 staff 272B Jan 21 18:41 .bitpim-files/ drwxr-xr-x 4 staff 136B May 7 17:23 .cache/ drwxr-xr-x 5 staff 170B May 7 17:25 .config/ drwx------ 3 staff 102B Jan 13 2012 .cups/ drwx------ 15 staff 510B Jan 22 03:28 .dropbox/ drwxr-xr-x@ 297 staff 9.9K Feb 16 06:57 .explorer.cache/ drwxr-xr-x@ 3 staff 102B Feb 16 06:55 .explorer.local/ drwxr-xr-x 7 staff 238B Mar 31 2012 .fontconfig-2.4/ drwx------ 4 staff 136B Apr 11 18:57 .gconf/ drwx------ 3 staff 102B Apr 11 19:18 .gconfd/ [/QUOTE]
