Stuck with emptying trash, no files deleted

Hey all!
I'm trying to delete files from my Mac OS X Lion system, but it fails. Well actually, nothing happends. When i hit EMPTY TRASH, the dialog box opens with a note "emptying the trash" and showing the number of files to be deleted (486 files) - but nothing happends. It just hangs there.
I did the file persmissions repair, which initally took very long to kick off showing it will take some 7 hours... I got worried there, but then completed in about 5 mins....
Any ideas whats going on?

To see what's in the trash:
Launch Terminal and copy & paste these commands:
cd ~/.Trash
Press Return
Then enter ls Press return
This will list of the contents of your trash, so you can if there's anything you need you can drag it out. If not, follow these instructions:
Go to /Applications /Utilities/Terminal and launch it.
At the prompt, copy and paste this command
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
Press Return.
You will be asked to enter your admin password. It will be invisible.
Enter it and press Return.
Log out and back in or restart.
Let us know.

Unable to empty trash (locked files)

Hello,
I have the problem with empty Trash. I copied files from flash memory and later I moved to Trash.
Right now I couldn't empty trash (option kay doesn't work) because I have one locked file (folder) in trash!!!
If some body could help!!

Follow the instructions in this User Tip to find out what kind of lock it is, since the option key should allow you to over-ride a normal User lock:

Let us know what you find.

I've emptied trash, removed files, discarded everything I don't use and my startup disc is still full. Half of it is 'other'. How do I find out what 'other' is and remove it?

See Pondiini's The Storage Display, for details.

Since adding a gmail account, I am stuck with it. I cannot delete it. I cannot add a second one. Worst of all I cannot restart the computer as it tells me that Mail will not let me restart!

Hi!
I understand that Computer 1 is synced and you see something like this when you access the Sync Tab under Preferences: https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/2011-01-27-15-46-25-9c0352.png
And in Computer 2 you get a window similar to this: https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/compcode.jpg
But when you click on Add Device the following window doesn't appear: https://support.mozilla.com/media/uploads/gallery/images/2011-01-27-15-46-48-5f59d1.png
Is this correct? If so, please let me know what you see (a screenshot will be handy).
You can also set up the second computer following this instructions: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20sync%20Firefox%20settings%20between%20computers#w_what-if-im-not-near-my-first-computer

Empty Trash does not delete photo from Masters File. Why?

When I delete a photo and then empty the trash the file still remains in the Masters File in the iPhoto Library. This is concerning since these are large files that don't need to be there. Am I doing something wrong. How do I get rid of these unwanted picture files?

Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select options #1, #2, #5 and #6.
Click to view full size
Fix #3
Rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If you have a lot of photos that you've deleted and the Masters copy is still in the library Fix #3 may be the only one that will remove those rogue files from the library. You'll just have to check after running each.

I saw the deleted and emptied trashed photo files by accident!

When I was attaching photos as file attachments to my email(hotmail),I selected a dozen or so photos in i-Photo then try to press the "Choose" button at the bottom right of the screen. Because the "Choose" button and the Trash Can Icon in the dock are almost overlapping I must have hit the Trash Can Icon instead.
Then I saw the bunch of photos I deleted several months ago by "Empty Trash" command not the "Secure Empty Trash". When I saw the deleted photos I could not believe my eyes. Is this due to a bug in OS or Finder or??
Is there any way to delete them permanently now? Or do I have to wait until they are overwritten?

Try to drag them out of the trash to the desktop. Then see if they will play through Preview or Quicktime.

Stuck on Emptying Trash

Trash window says, "Items to delete: 0" but it won't finish the process. The blue bar is almost filled with a bit of gray at the end. It has been stuck on this for a good 1 1/2 hrs.
Clicking X in the trash window can't "stop emptying the trash."
How can I cancel the trash or get it to complete?

Force Quit & Relaunched Finder got me out of emptying trash.
Thanks!
I had been planning to get DiskWarrior because when I try to Verify Disk I get:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Invalid node structure
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
I read other postings with the same problem where you recommended DW.
Could this be the cause of my trash problem?
Never had problems with the trash before.

Error Code 8003 with empty trash command

I am trying to empty trash and getting an error code -8003. I have deleted some very large iphot folders to free up disk space after moving them to a detached drive. To complete the task, I am trying to empty trash. After about 30 seconds, I get an error code - 8003.
"The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003)."

Hey BY366,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are having issues emptying the Trash in Mac OS X 10.6.8. The following article may help to resolve your issue:
You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash

If the above steps do not resolve your issue, see the section titled “Emptying the Trash” in the following resource. Please note that the steps outlined in this resource are highly advanced, and must be executed with caution. Typographical error or misuse of the "rm -rf" command can result in data loss. Insertion of a space in the wrong place could result in the complete deletion of data on your hard disk, for example.

Problem with emptying trash

I downloaded an app from the mac app store earlier called disk diag which was very good and told me that i had 127.64gb in my trash so i deleted it, it then deleted all my trash but left 57 applications in there. whenever i tried to empty my trash before the number of files to delete just went up to about 200,000 then would just not delete anything. i have 57 applications in the trash which the disk diag did not delete but when i went to empty was what left in the trash by doing it through the actual trash file it says i have 280,000 files to delete or something. i was wondering why this is happening and whether there is a faster way to get rid of all these files.
it's currently at 256k but its taking absolutely ages. any help would be great, thanks very much

Take a look at this topic: NUL file in Trash won't go away.
You'll almost certainly find this file is in the Trash on a Windows volume, and you'll need to use Windows to get rid of it.

HELP! Is there any way to recover emptied trash? I deleted christmas.

Help me save Christmas! I thought I was ejecting my camera but somehow I deleted my photos, and anal me empties the trash without looking.

So, you deleted the files from the camera before you were able to import them onto your computer, or did you accidentally erase them from both the camera and your computer?
If it's the latter, stop using the computer immediately, as any new files that might get created (including temporary files) can potentially overwrite the areas on the disk where your photos were stored.
If nothing has overwritten the areas on your disk where the photos were stored, software such as Data Rescue II has a good chance of recovering your files.
If you have a separate disk to boot from, do so, and run any recovery applications from that disk.

Trouble with emptying trash

My Macbook Pro has started doing something odd - when I move an item from the desktop to the trash, I get a dialog box asking for my password, and when I enter it, it moves the item and immediately empties the trash. I used to be able to recover items that I'd moved to the trash, and could manually empty the trash, but I can no longer do this. Is there some setting that I inadvertently changed that is making it do this?

First, never empty the Trash in the shell (Terminal.) It's unnecessary and dangerous.
Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Unable to empty trash, this file is holding me up. "Mail Attachment.eml:OECustomProperty:"

I have a file in my trash inside a number of folders that were once part of my IMAP setup which I removed.
I've tried emptying the trash, and tried removing the file through terminal using the sudo command. To which I get "No such file or directory"
Help me, I need my trash can empty.

Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.
(Should anyone tell you this is dangerous or unnecessary, please ignore the comment.)

do you happen to be signed in as her account in the 'app sore'? (you can tell by clicking on the 'store' menu in the app store. At the bottom of the menu there is a item called 'View My Account [email protected]") if your signed in as yourself it should show your email.

Empty Trash vs. Secure Empty

What is the difference between normally emptying the trash, and going to finder, file, secure empty trash? Which should i do?

You can delete files, folders, and other items on your disk that you no longer need.
You may want to store a backup copy or an archive of important items if you are trying to clear space on your hard disk for other things.
Drag the items to the Trash (at the end of the Dock).
Any files or folders you drag to the Trash remain there until you empty the Trash. If you change your mind about something, you can still retrieve it from the Trash if you haven't emptied it yet. Click the Trash icon to open the Trash window, then drag items back to your home folder.
Choose Finder > Empty Trash.
Even after you empty the Trash, deleted files may still be recovered by using special data-recovery software. To delete files so that they cannot be recovered, choose Finder > Secure Empty Trash. Files deleted in this way are completely overwritten by meaningless data. This may take some time, depending on the size of the file. To prevent the recovery of files you deleted previously, open Disk Utility (in Applications/Utilities), choose Help > Disk Utility Help, and search for help on erasing free disk space.
If an item is locked, you cannot put it in the Trash. Select the item and choose File > Get Info, then deselect the Locked checkbox in the General pane. If you do not own the item, you may need to provide an administrator's name and password to put the item in the Trash.
Press the Option key when you choose Empty Trash to prevent the warning message from appearing. You can also turn off the warning in the Advanced pane of Finder Preferences.
