Can not delete trash.

When I try to delete trash I get an error;
The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).
The files appear to be from Time Machine back up.

I located an other message line that discussed this problem also. There was several good ideas there. The one that worked for me was.
This technique uses a hidden feature of Mac OS X to force the Trash to empty. Perform the following steps in the order specified:
Press and hold the mouse button on the Trash icon in the Dock. The context menu for Trash will display.
Press and hold the Option key.
Select Empty Trash from the context menu for Trash.
Release the Option key.
I found this info at.

Thanks for all the inputs. My trash seems to be deleted now.

  • I can not delete some power point files in the trash.help?

    I can not delete some power point files in the trash.help?

    Hi Gary,
    The presentations were created originally with PowerPoint. I have been using them on both KeyNote and PowerPoint with no problem, even after updating to MountainLion. Problems started at the 10.8.3 upgrade. The installation was an upgrade form Lion. Yes I mean Open Office, I am able to open the presentation with Open Office and play it with no problems.
    The presentation gets loaded by Power Point and the Power Point freezes. Key Note can not even load it. Stops 3/4 of the way. This happens with ALL my presentations.
    I want to thank you for your help.

  • I can not delet a bookmark

    I have a bookmark I can not delete.I have tried moving it to the trash,I have gone to Edit,I have highlighted it,I have tried everything I can think of.When I go to Bookmarks in the top menu,the list will not go past this one bookmark,but it is in the list when I go to Organize Bookmarks.This bookmark has no info at all,no address,just a name.How can I get rid of it.It is a real pain to have.

    I tried doing a back up in Organize Bookmarks.Got a message stating that it was unable to proceed.Well,it got rid of the corrupt bookmark,but it also got rid of all other bookmarks.Luckily I made a JSON file before I did a back up.It"ll take a while to copy all 40 bookmarks,but I'll get it done.
    Thanks for your help.

  • I can not delete an email I get a message218130.emlx" couldn't be copied because you don't have permission to access "Messages"

    I can not delete an email I get a message218130.emlx” couldn’t be copied because you don’t have permission to access “Messages”

    Actually, the Finder solution did not work for me, but here's what did:
    Quit Mail (for safety's sake).
    Open Terminal (it's in Utilities folder usually, but since I updated to ML it's in a folder called Other for some reason)
    Once Terminal is open, you'll want to login as ROOT.  You do this as follows:
    Type
    sudo -i
    Then hit Enter/Return. You'll be promoted for your system password. Hopefully you'll remember it. Enter your password then hit Enter/Return.
    You'll then be at what's known as a root prompt.
    At this point BE VERY CAREFUL.  You have the ability at this point to completely destroy your machine beyond repair. Only type what I list below:
    To find the folder that contains the email message you'll need to type the following:
    find . -name "218130.emlx"
    Hit Enter/Return
    This will take a minute or two but what should appear in the list of other items that appear is something along the lines of the following (it won't be exactly this but will look LIKE this) I've replaced some personally identifying info:
    ./Users/yourname/Library/Mail/V2/POP-youremailaddress@yourmailserver/INBOX.mbox/ 0355DF0D-5E99-4798-B79E-48D71E68AF34/Data/3/2/Messages/23219.emlx
    This line describes the location of the offending email. You know what to put yourself into this directory:
    cd /Users/yourname/Library/Mail/V2/POP-youremailaddress@yourmailserver/INBOX.mbox/0 355DF0D-5E99-4798-B79E-48D71E68AF34/Data/3/2/Messages/
    Hit Enter/Return
    Notice, I left of the name of the actual email address. You'll need to be sure you type the location EXACTLY or this won't work. You want to be in the Messages folder. You'll know you're there because your Terminal prompt will look something like this:
    Your Name - iMac:Messages
    Then just to be sure you're in the right place, type
    ls
    Hit Enter/Return
    You should then see something like this:
    iMac:Messages root# ls
    23013.emlx    23096.emlx    23100.emlx    23156.emlx    23210.emlx    23213.emlx    218130.emlx
    You'll see the offending message. Now, you delete ONLY this message. Type:
    rm -f 218130.emlx
    That's RM at the start above. You'll need to type it in lower case. Be sure that's all you type.
    Hit Enter/Return
    You'll should be disappointed at the results because it will look like nothing happened. You can hit ls  and Enter/Return one more time and the offending file should be gone.
    EXIT TERMINAL. DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING ELSE. DO NOT "POKE AROUND". THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO EXPLORE. SERIOUS SYSTEM DAMAGE CAN BE CAUSED FROM HERE. EXIT TERMINAL NOW.
    Now re-open Mail  - the message will still appear to be in there, but magically, you can delete it. you can also delete it from your Trash for good measure.

  • Can not delete individual messages on ios8

    I can not delete individual messages in iMessage after I "upgraded" to ios8.  If you hold down on the message, tap "more", THERE IS NO TRASH CAN ANYWHERE ON THE SCREEN.  There is no option I have found anywhere, except to delete the entire conversation.  Please help.

    Thanks heaps.....the trying to enter a reply, then swiping downward on the keyboard worked.  That is the first useful suggestion I've seen for multiple posts with this question, so thank you very much.  Hopefully the next update will fix that problem so you don't have to go through the delete process the long way, but happy to use it as a temporary measure in the mean time.
    Thanks for taking the time to help.

  • Icon/web site popped up on screen.  i can not delete it or put i

    icon/web site popped up on the screen, i can not delete it or put it in the trash. how do i get rid of it without opening it?

    Open your Browser Preferences and uncheck [√] Javascript (and Java as well if that is checked).
    This will disallow any scripts, and give you back control. This works for the "FBI" ransomware as well.

  • Can not delete one email!?!?  it wont let me delete it!

    I can not delete a certain email. Each time i click the trash can, it brings me back to the home screen.

    Try closing the mail application fully, then rebooting and try again.  To close the app fully, go to your home page.  Double tap your home button to bring up the most recently used apps (task bar).  With your finger hold in on any of the recently used apps till they all start to jiggle.  On the upper left side of each app will be a sign.  Touch the minus sign on the Mail App and it will fully close.  Touch your home button one more time to stop the apps from jiggling and then again to return to your home screen.
    To reboot:  Press and hold BOTH the home and power buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.  Once back up, open your mail app and see if you can delete the message.

  • Can not delete the bookmarked apps in Iphone Screen

    I have bookmark some apps in my Iphone Screen and I can not delete them any more,  I try to delete through Itune and manual delete and succesfully deleted but soon  after restart the Iphone all deleted apps are back, please help

    What you can try is the following:
    In the Aperture library package are two folders, one named Folders and the other named Albums. Inside these two folders are files, one named TrashFolder.apfolder the other namedtrashAlbum.apalbum.
    With Aperture not running move  those two to the desktop and then start Aperture holding down the option and command keys and rebuild the library. The two files will be recreated. Can't guarantee it will correct your trash problem but its worth a shot.
    As always whenever you're mucking about in the package there is always the chance that the library could be damaged so a backup is a very good idea.
    good luck

  • Can not delete email

    Since upgrading to 2.2 I can not delete email. When I try to delete, I get a message that says "Unable to Move Message The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash." I see that other people had the same problem as referenced here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8512901&#8512901 but their problem went away, and mine remains. Have restarted the phone to no avail. Any advise? Thanks.

    Do you go to your settings under Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select your mail account and then go to Advanced settings and make sure Deleted Mailbox says On My iPhone and then the TRASH folder is seleted? Maybe try also unchecking the TRASH folder and rechecking it.
    Sometimes if you have another e-mail account besides the ones that your having trouble with, try deleted mail from it and then go back to the trouble account and try again.

  • Can not delete messages

    I can not delete messages from the inbox or the junk box. I can not drag messages to the trash box. I have downloaded and reinstalled Thunderbird but still does not work. All other functions seem to work.
    It is possible to move messages from the inbox to the junk box but can not delete them from their.

    Thanks for your help and suggestion. This fix did not work. I can now move messages to the junk folder then using right click, empty junk the messages are deleted. They do not go to the trash folder however. I guess this work around will work but its not the way it should be.
