[QUOTE="MacSinceWayBack, post: 368472, member: 29808"] First: THANKS! for your input. When I tried the "open terminal" operation I was "Permission denied" until I realized that you must have accidentally placed your quotation marks around the word "type" (bear in mind, I have [U]never[/U] delved into Darwin/UNIX. I am not a programmer but I am willing to try acting like one) Typing it in correctly I was able at least to progress to the second line "killall Finder". Nothing happened after that. I tested it and the trash can still goes for the immediate delete, and NO, these are definitely files on my hard-drive, not internet files. .... [/QUOTE]
