[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1897936, member: 175845"] Just before you leave Jake, I'm just curious as to why the safe boot mode method suggestion might work as opposed to just shutting down and/or rebooting, as wouldn't they also stop the file from "being in use"??? But just to make it clear, I am a great advocate and suggester of using safe boot mode as you probably are aware. FWIW: I've usually had good success removing stubborn files from the trash or those the finder insist "are in use" using the Finder "Secure Empty Trash" method. But I already mentioned that previously but I guess it didn't work as we are now into the mid 50s posts!!! ... 😇 - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
