OS X Yosemite :: Can't Empty Trash / Error Code -43

Dec 9, 2014

My problem is that I can't empty my trash, I've tried every solution I've found on the internet, but none of them actually work. When I try to empty it, I get the message that the items are in use, but it is practically impossible, because they are some text files, but with weird extension in the filename's end, for example: 

notes_102_331_2012-(ABC).txt/Zone.Identifier 

There are like 30 files like this, and they are in a folder called "Notes", but every time I try to empty them, I get the message that they are in use, although everything is closed except finder. I've tried to rename the files, but then I get the error code -43. The folder itself can be renamed, but that doesn't work. When I try to move the files to another folder or drive, again: error code -43.

Intel Mac :: Get Error Code -8003 When Attempting To Empty The Trash?

Jun 2, 2012

I moved a number of folders from a back-up drive (using Time Machine) to the trash, and have had no success in getting them out of the trash.  Option+Empty, Option+Secure Empty Trash, after using Disk Utility to repair permissions and then try again, and the TrashIt! app.. nothing is working.  I'm not in need of the space, I just want to get rid of the items.  as I can't even find 'Error Code -8003' anywhere.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Trash Will Not Empty An Item From Lacie: Error Code -8062

Feb 14, 2012

I was trying to back-up the HD Library file and it would not perform an update. I kept getting an error message for each item in the folder could not be updated. So, I took the HD versio of Library and put it in the TRASH, then tried again to back-up this version of Library. The same error messages occurred. I then put that error message screen into the trash, but it would not TRASH. A 'Copy' screen pops up with the following messge: "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred [error code -8062]."

OS X Yosemite :: Unable To Empty The Trash

Dec 4, 2014

I'm unable to empty the trash on my macbook air in certain circumstances. It works fine if I'm using my air on its own, however I occasionally plug into a usb hub which has a screen and hard disk connected to it. At this point, I get a different list of items in my trash. If I try and empty it, it crashes, I've i do secure empty, I get a message ' The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in xxxx can't be read or written. (error code - 36). I get 3 options, stop, skip and continue. Which ever one I click the trash doesn't empty. 

I've tried rebuilding the trash bin from the command prompt using sudo rm -ri ~/.Trash This worked twice in the past when I had a similar problem. Occasionally if I run through the process a few times my trash appears to empty. But when I next connect to the external hard drive, all the files are there again.  

I'm assuming this is an issue to do with the connection of my external hard drive. I think most of the files that are stuck in trash are files from the hard drive that I tried to delete.  

I'm running OSX 10.10.

OS X Yosemite :: How To Empty Trash On WD External Drive

Dec 9, 2014

I have a large trash file---600 GB---on a WD external drive that I'd like to empty to recover space for backups. I don't know how to do it. I don't have a clue where to start? 

My understanding is that with the .Trashes folder selected in Finder, if I issue the empty trash command what gets emptied is the trash on my computer. How do I empty the .Trashes folder on the external drive?

OS X Yosemite :: Repeating File In Trash / Can't Empty It

Dec 2, 2014

I got this forever looping combination of folders in my Trash, and now it won't let me empty the trash.  It's kind of hard to explain, but if I open the trash, there is a folder in there called "RaceImages 11.36.24 AM [7/3]".  If I drill into that folder, it goes on forever like this.... 

"RaceImagesThumbs > Desktop > RaceImages > RaceImagesThumbs" and on and on, repeating for basically ever.  I could drill down to eternity and still not be able to delete the trash.  I've drilled down through that repeating sequence a hundred times and still not seen an end. 

If I attempt to empty the trash, it first says "the operation can't be completed because the item 'ML1_2014' is in use.", but I don't see that file.  If I click continue, it says it can't be completed because the item "Desktop" is in use, and from there my repeating folder nightmare starts.  Clicked 'Continue' a 100 times and the same sequence of folders as above are "in use". 

Tried "Secure Empty" the trash, tried the finder menu "Option > Empty Trash".  All to no avail...same error messages.

OS X :: How Unsecure Is Empty Trash Compared To Secure Empty Trash?

Aug 31, 2009

I moved a bunch of files to the trash can after installing Snow Leopard, mainly backup files from OmniFocus.

I clicked Secure Empty Trash and over 500,000 items began deleting. These 500,000+ items deleted at the rate of 2-3 items a second. This would total 138 hours equaling over 5 days to Secure Empty the trash.

This is just ridiculous in my option so I just did the "Empty Trash" feature, showing me only 350 items, which deleted quickly in under 5 minutes...

So far I know with Secure Empty Trash that the trash is securely layered with 0's & 1's....but wonder what happens with just "Empty Trash?"

How easily accessible is it for someone to retrieve something that i've deleted?

OS X :: Secure Empty Trash Regain GB's But Not Empty Trash...?

Jan 13, 2010

I've noticed that when I "Secure Empty Trash" though it takes longer, I usually regain a lot of gigabytes back. Currently, as of this post i'm "secure emptying trash" and i've regained about 25GB's which sounds about right considering there was about that much worth of video recordings from my video camera I no longer needed.

In the past when I've just "deleted trash" i've seen different results. If I have say 10GB's in the trash and I just "empty trash" then i'll maybe gain back like a GB or 2. ...if anything.

So, my concern is...say currently with the 25GB amount of trash I have, If I decided to just "empty trash", I obviously would not have gained back all the 25GB's..., perhaps just a few, guessing something like 5GB.

Well, does that mean that those GB's that are emptied in the trash (not securely) are just lost forever?

..Or will I regain those GB's the next time around (say weeks later) I securely empty the trash with whatever happens to be in there (all new stuff in the trash)?

Am I making sense?

Kinda confusing to me cause I don't understand it. But I feel it's vital for me to get this and have the most amount of gigs available on my Mac now that i'm using about 30GB's per week filming stuff and editing it on iMovie.
