Can't empty Snow Leopard trash

[Theobold]

Hi, I have a problem with the trash from the installation of Snow Leopard, When I put a file in the trash and empty it I said "deleting 4 files" and is long enough for the removal of 1 file. Also when I wanted to delete a 4.7GB MKV it lasts so long that I'm forced to relaunch the finder. (I had to go through bootcamp in windows to remove it). How is it with you?

It is true that the trash is very slow to empty when we go to Snow Leopard ...
to address:

• Click on the Desktop
• Menu top left Finder - Preferences
• Advanced Options
• Unchecked empty the trash in secure mode ...that's all .

Maybe he uses the dump option in safe mode. How are you doing to clear it? Perhaps you used the wrong keyboard shortcut? I right click on the trash can "empty the trash", there an option that the dump , have you used it?

Hello

Repair Permissions perhaps? Does "Empty trash in secure mode" works? (Finder menu) tries to disable Time Machine in System Preferences and then empty your trash: If it works, you can then re-TM.

Good evening,

Download and install batchmode. from the context menu, choose Force the Trash to empty. BatChmod is a Cocoa utility for manipulating file and folder privileges in Mac OS X (10.5 recommended). It allows the manipulation of ownership as well as the privileges associated to the Owner, Group or others. It is available for download here.
