Can't empty trash

[Patrick_Hunt]

Version: 2008 Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) Processor: Intel Email Client: pop I copied some photos of myself (taken by a newspaper) from a PC to my iMac OS10.6. Then I tried to delete them, and eventually got rid of them one by one. But the empty folder is parked stubbornly in the trash can, and I get the message 'Photos Pat still in use' -- which they are not. I went to the info section, and nothing is ticked there that should prevent deletion. Annoying the hell out of me, because I like to be tidy. Can anybody help? Please. Pat

Hi Pat!

This newsgroup is devoted to helping users with Microsoft Entourage.
It's not a general purpose question forum. You should really post
questions about Mac OS X in Apple's Discussions forums found here
<http://discussions.apple.com>.

If you cannot empty your Mac OS X Trash then restart your computer and
try again. If this does not work then you'll want to post your question
on the site I mentioned above.

Hope this helps!

Bill, I tried that, held down various keys (including Option) and nothing worked. Will follow your suggestion. Many thanks, Pat
