[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1816696, member: 175845"] Are you sure that they are actually locked files as shown using Get Info?? If they are locked, are you holding down the Option key or the Shift and Option while you empty the trash? Are you using any third party "cleaning" app or utility? For more, maybe check some sites like this: [url]https://www.jeffgeerling.com/tutorial/2008-12-02/dealing-locked-files-mac[/url] - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
