[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1805809, member: 46727"] If the files are locked, something didn't go right when you installed Mojave. You can try opening your Activity Monitor (from Utilities) and look to see if any process is going on with those files. If there is something going on, you can kill the process from Activity Monitor and then remove the files from the Trash. Also, try booting up in Safe Mode (hold down shift key while booting). After entering Safe Mode, try emptying the Trash again. If all that doesn't work we can try something else. [/QUOTE]
