[muglo] Re: emptying trash

Hi Wendy
there's a few things you can try

try holding option down when selecting Empty Trash

restart the Mac and try emptying the trash

open the Trash select the item that won't delete, choose Get Info from  
the File menu or Right click and choose Get info
if the item has the Locked box checked off in the resulting Get Info  
Window, uncheck it and try emptying the trash again

if that fails, you can use a utility like Cocktail to force the mac to  
delete the file (http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/index.php)
In the Files Tab > Locked. Drag the item to the preview pane and  
delete it from there

Good Luck!
