Can't delete recovery files in trash bin

Dear all,
I have problems deleting revored files in my trash bin (Papierkorb) and if I choose delete all (incl. secured ones) it just stops and the recovered files get more and more.
Any hint from you?
Thanks
Chriztov

Hey Chriztov Braun,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are unable to empty your trash in OS X. The following resource may assist you:

  • I have sent a file to the trash bin. When I come to empty the trash bin everything goes out except this one particular file and I get a note saying the file is 'in use' but it is not. How can I delete this file from trash?

    I have a Macbook Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.2. I have sent a work file to the trash bin along with many other files. When I empty the trash this one particular file remains and I get a message that this file is still in use. I have tried returning the file to my documents, opening it, closing it and then sending it to trash and again I try to empty trash but the same message comes up - Q - How can I trash this file permanently?

    First just try logging out and back in.  Whatever is holding on to it may not be running after the logout thus freeing it so you can trash it after logging back in.
    You might also try Trash It!
    Lastly, look at the following for suggestions:

    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open Safari or iTunes.

  • Trash can always has recovery files

    I see that my trash can always has recovery files in there. I was wondering why is that so?

    Howdy, chrissowden.
    These files are temporary files that are no longer needed by a particular application. The following article provides more information regarding "Recovered Files" folders:

  • My husband has retrieved emails from my exchange email account. I deleted them from the trash bin. How is he doing this?

    OK, let's come back to the original issue; how are deleted messages retrievable?
    First, is the account set up as an Exchange account or a POP account? I'll assume it's Exchange. If it were POP the answer is obvious.
    If it's an Exchange account are you deleting the messages from the phone or from some other computer? If you are deleting them from another computer they will not be removed from the Trash folder on the phone until the phone next syncs AND the Trash folder is opened. But this will take time. You can force the Trash folder to sync in near real time by going into Settings/Mail,Contacts,Calendars, tap on the Exchange account, tap on Mail Folders to Push and check "Deleted Items". Note that doing this will result in increased data usage and reduced battery life.
    If I haven't described the situation tell me what assumptions I made that are incorrect.

  • How can I delete a file? At the moment I delete each pic and it takes ages! I tried select all and managed to delete all my 2300 photos!!  I've got them back but I've also got back 980 which I had already deleted 1 by 1 over the past 6 months!  Help!

    Please help! How can I delete a file without deleting all my photos?  I have just managed to delete all my more than 2000 photographs by choosing' Select all' and then delete. But I thought only 'all' the photographs in the file I had open would be selected! I have got them back, but I've also got back more than 800 others that I'd deleted SINGLY over the last 6 months! HELP!

    Put a Photo in the iPhoto Trash.
    iPhoto Menu -> Empty Trash
    This removes the photo from iPhoto and the Hard Disk (in every version of iPhoto except iPhoto11)
    In iPhoto 11 the file goes to the System Trash, you need to empty that too.

  • "Can't move referenced files to trash"

    I was clearing my rejects from a project- 1400 of them! They were all referenced. At the end, I got an error message saying Aperture can't move referenced files to trash because I don't have access to the trash on that volume.
    It removed them from the library but left the images on the drive- 1400 of them! (Seems like it would have let me know BEFORE removing them from the library!)
    Anyway, I isolated them on the drive by relocating the masters that remain in the library which left the files from the removed images in place. It would have been ugly if I were deleting rejects library wide instead of within a single project.
    The permissions in the Get Info window were fine, and the disk is formatted properly so I verified and repaired the disk in Disk Utility. No problems were found, but this resolved the issue of the volume not having access to the trash.
    Anyone else ever seen anything like this?

    It doesn't sound like it's an issue with the files themselves, but rather with the trash.
    I haven't seen it, but I can see how that could occur. Each volume tends to have its own Trash folder. It's hidden, typically called .Trashes and at the root of the hard drive. I have had Trash-related issues outside of Aperture in the past (likely of my own doing). The issue with problems like these it it's nigh impossible to establish cause and effect… you could do something and not notice the problem for days or even weeks, in a completely un-related way.
    I doubt that "Repair Permissions" is responsible for the fix, unless the files were on your boot volume. RP has no effect outside of a boot volume.

  • I can't delete any files from my external hard drives since I tried to delete backups. I can't return backups or delete anything now.

    It started when I tried to delete back up files. It wouldn't let me delete them. Came up with "BootX" is locked, then "boot.efi" is locked. Holding down Option while emptying the trash didn't do anything. It wouldn't let me put them back in Backups.backupdb so I just left them in the trash.
    But now I can't delete any files from either of my external hard drives. please help!
