[QUOTE="6string, post: 1018776, member: 120039"] The OP is stating that he or she cannot securely empty the trash because he gets an error message that the file is in use (HD Clean Up) which he or she downloaded from the apple site but never used it, and just deleted it. There is a running process, and I'm guessing an uninstall was required rather than just deleting. So, I think other than my suggestion earlier, reinstalling and using the uninstaller, and if there isn't an uninstaller, using [URL="http://freemacsoft.net/AppCleaner/"]Appcleaner[/URL] to remove it.

Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
