[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 628760, member: 9385"] Dang it, the UNIX angle on the trash (.Trash) has already been covered. Oh well. I consider Trash to be very much like /tmp was back in the days before Mac OS's 'flavor' of BSD UNIX. If you stuck something in /tmp, chances were that it was going to go away at some point, and /tmp being what it was for well, you expected that the system would clean it up in some way. Usually after a reboot. We don't reboot our Macs that often, however (though with all these system updates it seems to happen more often than I'd like but that's how it is here in The Future.) Anyway, back up a lot and consider the Trash to be just that. [/QUOTE]
