[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1650985, member: 175845"] All jokes aside and with even Terminal being stubborn to empty the Trash, how's this for a suggestion? Download and use [B]Find Any File[/B] if you don't have it already: [url=http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/]Thomas Tempelmann - Find Any File[/url] Use the Finder to copy the stubborn file/folder name, open [B]FAF[/B] and paste in the copied name, hold the option button and click Find, it will ask for user password to get root permission. When found and displayed in the found window, select it and right-click to use the Delete Immediately option. It just might work… ;) [/QUOTE]
