Applications :: Unable To Delete Yahoo Messenger Ghost Icon On Desktop

Jan 12, 2011

I'm trying to find a solution to an issue a family member it having with Yahoo Messenger and an iMac. The computer is an early release aluminum iMac, running Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11. Yahoo Messenger is the most current version installed. A transparent image of the Messenger icon is on the dock and seems to be stuck between the dock's line near the trash can. It won't delete, even deleted the normal version of Messenger, shut down the computer and restarted it. The image was still on the dock. Are there Messenger files in other folders, that somehow didn't get deleted when the application was deleted, causing this?

Jun 26, 2014

How do you delete individual items from Trash without emptying entire Trash? If I highlight one item in Trash, the only option is the Empty button. I'm afraid it will empty the whole thing. I don't want to do that.

IMac :: Can't Delete Trash / Saying Don't Have Permission To Delete

Mar 6, 2009

I dual boot my iMac using Boot Camp and I'm having problems deleting a bunch of files in my Trash. A short history. I purchased a OWC external hard drive case and I've been going through my old hard drives which originally were used in my Windows XP computer. The drives were contaminated with Windows viruses and so I installed the drives one by one in the OWC case and proceeded to delete files and programs which I didn't need in each drive while in OS X and keeping the files I wanted to save in each respective drive. Now what I'm faced with is a Trash bin filled with Windows XP software (including Windows XP itself) which I cannot delete because OS X says I don't have permission to delete those files.

OS X :: Can't Delete Files In Trash

Jul 21, 2006

I was cleaning up my jumpdrive and accidently put a locked safegaurd file in the trash so when I went to empty the trash it emptied everything but that. Then I went in and moved a copy of the safegaurd file from the trash to the desktop then to the jumpdrive. Now the file is safely back on my jumpdrive, but I have useless files in my trash that I can't delete. How do I do it??

Anyone know what I can do?

OS X :: Cannot Delete Folder From Trash

Mar 9, 2009

I have tried everything and I cannot delete this folder from my trash. It's an empty folder because everything inside it is already deleted. I get this message when I try to empty trash.

"The operation cannot be completed because the item "xxx" is in use."

I have tried going into Terminal and typing "sudo rm -rf" etc etc. Get the message "directory not empty".

Tried secure empty trash.

Tried using Cocktail.

Tried using Permanent Eraser.

Tried holding down "option" and emptying.

Tried logging out, logging in then emptying. Tried restarting and emptying.

Nothing seems to work. I've looked through every thread on every forum I could find on google. I can move the folder back to my desktop. I can rename it. It's not locked or anything. Also, I tried emptying it in safe mode, but I can't seem to start up on safe mode!!! I turn off the computer, turn it on, hold down shift after I hear the startup noise, release shift when the grey apple logo comes up, and then it just shuts down on me. I can't boot up on safe mode!! It's so weird!

I'm gonna try repairing disk permissions, but before I do.

I'm on a PowerBook G4. Running Version 10.4.11. Everything is up to date.

OS X :: Certain File In My Trash Bin That Won't Delete?

Oct 27, 2009

There is a certain file in my trash bin that won't delete, I don't believe it is locked or anything, it just says, "The operation can�t be completed because the item �sixtyforce� is in use."

"sixtyforce" was this emulator that I downloaded, but it was the older version of it, so I wanted to delete it, but that message keeps coming up.

OS X :: Can't Delete TM Backups From Trash

Feb 9, 2010

Im using a MacBook with OS X 10.6.2 and a Maxtor 1Tb External hdd.

I was running out of space on my External hdd, so decided to turn off time machine and delete all the backups and then do one latest backup and turn it off again, so i turned off time machine and deleted all the backups from the external hdd into the Trash.

I went to deleted the trash and after it prepared to delete some 48,000 files it came up with an error message saying:

"The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003)."

So i researched this, tried a secure empty trash also held down the Option key and emptied the trash and also tried various different Terminal codes (I am nowhere at all competent with Terminal so i was probably doing it wrong).

I've also gone back into time machine and deleted any other backups from with time machine.

None of these have worked, and i have movies, music etc also on the external hdd so a re-format is out of the question.

OS X :: File With Odd Characters In Its Name Won't Delete From Trash

Nov 6, 2008

I was in the process of deleting Bioshock from a Windows fat32 drive while in OS X on my January 2008 Mac pro when it was unable to do so due permissions on some of the files and folder, so I just placed the whole bioshock folder back on the fat32 formatted drive, however ever since there has been a file in Trash labeled ␀␀␀␀␀.�� that wont be emptied, I do not receive a error message when I try to empty it, it just remains in there.

I am unable to use the get info right click option as when I do so the ␀␀␀␀␀.�� file vanishes for a few minutes and then just reappears in the Trash.

I am unable to move the file any where as when I try to do so it is as if I have not clicked on anything and the os does not acknowledge that anything has occurred.

OS X :: Delete Only Certain Files Permanently From Trash Bin?

Feb 19, 2009

I'm a recent mac converter. Hope someone can help me out.

Now in XP I was able to remove certain files from the trash bin. I never actually emptied the entire trash bin, but once in a while would delete the oldest files from the trash bin and keep the new ones.

Is this possible in OS X? I was only able to empty the entire trash bin, but not certain parts of it.

OS X :: Can't Delete Windows XP Folder From Trash

Nov 1, 2009

So, while cleaning up my macbook pro from old files, I mistakenly get into the NO NAME partition that appears in the OS X partition, but which holds some kind of Windows XP directories. I don't know how I managed to do so, but I somehow deleted a folder under NO NAME/Documents and Settings/[user name] and all the files in that directory.

Not much harm was done, since it seems as though the folder was merely duplicated into the trash and still remains in its original directory in NO NAME. The problem is that every time I try to delete it from the trash it says I don't have permissions. It's only folders and they're all unlocked and I am logged on as admin. I've tried dragging the folder out of the trash but it merely duplicates it (although I have no issues deleting the duplicate). So I have folders that have no use being in or outside the trash, which are proving to be very difficult to delete. I tried verifying my disk fwith Disk Utility, but it resulted ok.

OS X :: Empty Trash Won't Delete Particular Files?

Jan 7, 2010

When I empty my trash they all delete except 2 particular files. They have weird names with symbols in them. I don't know if it matters but when I press get info it says they are in the Windows XP .Trashes folder. I used a hidden file application to look for them and delete them but that didn't work. I can't drag them out the trash can. There is nothing showing in Windows XP in the recycle bin. I tried verifying the disk. Overall, nothing has worked at all and I've searched everywhere for an answer.

OS X :to Delete A Ton Of Trash Mega Fast?

Mar 5, 2010

I got about a terabyte of back-up data to delete from Time Machine, which takes a mega long time. Is there any way to move it to the trash and delete stuff super fast?

Command-Option-Shift-Delete doesn't do it.also doesn't do it. And yes, I know about not having 'Empty Trash Securely' selected!I get no 'Delete Backup' option using the gear menu where the back-ups are listed. Just a 'Move to trash' option. Which for one back-up in the trash, got to almost 1,600,000 items before it started deleting.
