Force Delete on Mac OS X

Comment on this Post

I had a couple of items stuck in my trash bin for about a week now. No matter how many times I tried to empty the trash bin or restart the computer, I got an error message saying the operation cannot be completed because the file was still in use! Do you have the same annoying issue?

Fear not! Because there is a way to force them to delete!

  1. Open the Terminal program. You can find this in the Utilities Folder.
  2. Type inĀ  rm -r .Trash/ to empty out the trash bin.
  3. Close all apps and restart computer!

I hope this helps!
