[QUOTE="funkypoodle, post: 734691, member: 69299"] I'm trying to help a friend out with her old ibook (running under os 10.2) and before upgrading the OS I'm trying to trash an incomplete internet explorer file on the desktop. I got the message error that the item is in use & to try again when the other task is complete. After doing some googling, suggestions seemed to include opening download manager in IE and deleting the file from there, but the file is not in the download managers' list. I have repaired permissions, tried to unlock file,tried using a script to trash this file & all to no avail. I also tried to use an RM command in Terminal, but I'm a newbie to these sort of commands....so I probably didn't do it right... Any suggestions PLEASE [/QUOTE]
