[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1752182, member: 83420"] Assuming that emptying Trash is your goal and you accept the possible risks, there are other ways that are safe and do not include Terminal. Open Trash, highlight all the items you want to delete. Now use Option + Command + Backspace (delete). This should bring up a small window saying are you sure etc with OK or Cancel. Click OK. If that doesn't work, here is another: This simply involves downloading OnyX, a much respected app on these Forums. Make sure you get the version for macOS Sierra. Install, Open, then choose "Clean" from the OnyX window and "Trash". Then hit Execute. OnyX can be downloaded from here: [url]http://www.titanium.free.fr/onyx.html[/url] (NB I tried this at 9am (GMT) today and found that the site was temporarily down). I have found that my first suggestion nearly always works - and OnyX has never failed me, yet. Ian [/QUOTE]
