[QUOTE="Kenney, post: 1771020, member: 341525"] I deleted some of my old backups in Time Machine on my "My Passport" drive. now when I connect the drive to my Mac I see these files in the Trash folder. I try to delete them but I keep getting the Message "The operation can’t be completed because the item “share” is in use." If I continue I get the Message "The operation can’t be completed because the item “usr” is in use. and then Continue "The operation can’t be completed because the item “Macintosh HD” is in use. Then it goes to the next file and starts the error messages over again. If I look at the drive in Finder I don't see these files/directories. In Time Machine I can see newer backup directories/files.
