hi,
specs before I give the problem.
MacBook
snow leopard 10.6.2.
I was clearing my ext hard drive and moved the backups from my time machine folder to the trash. When I go to empty the trash it says error 800.
When I disconnect my hard drive the files vanish from my trash. When I reconnect they're back again. The files aren't anywhere on my ext hhd except in the trash.
Has anyone had this problem before and if so what can I do to empty it.
It seems like the backup files have moved to the trash instead of going there to be deleted and I can't remove them. If I drag them to desktop they only copy over.
If anyone can help I would be most grateful.
