Intel Mac :: Subborn Items In Trash Won't Trash
Mar 28, 2012I thought if you hold down option and control or option and command, and go to empty trash these stubborn items that say they are still in use, when they are not, will go away. Shutting down and restarting MBP won't make them go away either.

May 29, 2012I cannot delete email the "normal" way. When I set up my POP account, it created a second trash folder with the same name as my mail account. There are thus two folders in my Trash can - "On My Mac" and the one named after my email account. When I try to delete any mail it says that I cannot move anything to the Trash folder for my Mail account. I have to DRAG all email I wish to delete to the "On My Mac" Trash folder? I just want to be able to click delete and have email go away! Why is this not working?

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Why Don't Items Put In The Trash Appear In The Trash
Mar 26, 2012Sometimes items it put in the trash don't appear in the trash, although they are there. This often happens when I manually delete podcasts from iTunes, or drag an item such as a PDF from my downloads folder to the trash. The dock icon remains in it's "empty" state and bring up the trash finder window also shows that it is empty. If I restart my MacBook however, the items appear in the trash and are able to be deleted.

OS X :: Can't Drag Items From Stacks To Trash
Mar 7, 2009For the last couple of days, I haven't been able to drag any files over from my Stacks to the Trash; nothing happens. I'm forced to open the folder and drag it over from there or Apple+Delete it. I *might* have accidentally deleted a file (I don't remember which) causing this to suddenly happen and haven't been able to figure out how to fix it. It's more of an annoyance than anything else.
View 5 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Recovered Items In Trash On Boot
May 2, 2009On a fresh boot of my G5 Power Mac (latest version late 2005, 2GHz), there are usually several fonts in the trash in a folder named Recovered Items. All of the fonts are fonts I have disabled using Font Book, some are normal fonts and some are system fonts that throw up a message to the effect of "Are you sure you want to disable this font?...." when disabling them with Font Book. In this case they are always fonts I will never use, Korean, Chinese or Arabic etc. Is this something to be concerned about? I have noticed no problems running the system or in any software, so I just empty the trash and get on with my work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOS X :: External HDD Items Won't Remove From Trash?
Jul 6, 2010I had some folders on an external HDD that I moved to the trash and then I moved around the folders on my external HDD and renamed some. Now the items that I moved to the Trash won't delete! They no longer have their normals icons and instead have the plain white piece of paper icon.
It seems the Trash can't delete them because it can't find the file's original file path. The items only reappear in my Trash when I connect the HDD but it's still really annoying.
Software :: Items Refuses To Go In Trash
Sep 13, 2009Started with 10.6 update. Many items, not all, refused to go in the trash-mostly apps. Those that wouldn't, couldn't be deleted by any means I could come up with. They kept 'popping back' out of trash to the desktop. (or folder it was in). Found similar problems on Apple's forum, and the consensus was to delete ".trash" by using "sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash" in Terminal. That worked, but now anything trashed immediately pops up a warning that it will be deleted immediately in I agree--and it is. Nothing stays in the trash as before. How can I return to pre-Snow Leopard trash behavior?

OS X V10.5 Leopard :: Cannot Remove Items From Trash
Jun 18, 2012Went to empty my trash folder and found that there are thousands of items to be removed contained in 43 folders. On clicking empty trash a new box came up and a blue blinking bar went across identifying the empty process. But the items still remain in trash. Is this a virus attack or similar? Mac OS X 10.6.8.
