On my Mac when I move an item to the trash it directly goes to permanent delete?

[austinlee168]

I've been using my white Macbook for 3 years now and this problem just started a few day s ago:

When I move an item to the trash, it does not go in. Rather, it shows a message:
"Are you sure you want to delete such and such?
This item will be deleted immediately. You can't undo this action."

Usually when I do this the item would go into the trash and I can move them out of the trash if I want to as long as I don't empty it. I can no longer do this.

Can anyone help me?

Be sure that if you use terminal, that you put the commands in properly, with or without the spaces.
Best way to do this is to copy and paste.

Are these files on your Mac's hard disk, a network volume, or an external volume?

Files on some types of volumes can't be moved to the Trash.
