[QUOTE="TattooedMac, post: 1427977, member: 101749"] Hi and welcome to the forums.. Try this to force empty trash. Open Terminal and copy paste this in [CODE]sudo rm -ri ~/.Trash[/CODE] Press Return. Type your Admin password when prompted, then press Return. Type y for yes in response to the subsequent prompts to delete each file in the trash and finally the affected .Trash folder itself. The prompts are finished when the Terminal prompt returns. Note: when you enter your Admin p/w, it won't show up as this is by default for security reasons, but will be typed as you enter it. Cheers EDIT : No need to double post either :) [/QUOTE]
