Where is empty trash bin option with kdemo4

Hi guys !
I'm new with kdemod , and i really like it . However i have some questions , where is the empty trash bin option ? When i right click on the trash icon all i get is delete icon and some other options abou the icon .
Also , why i can't see downloaded files (which are downloaded to desktop) on desktop and i have to go through /home/myname/Desktop to access them ?
And lastly , i want to use kdemod with no effects at all , i go through System Settings , Desktop and turn off Desktop Effects ? (i did that and i can still see the preview of windows when the mouse goes over them)
Thanks for your help

About the trash can - What icon are you refering to? The one on the desktop? Anyway I see the option to empty for any trash icons (on desktop or in dolphin) so I'm not sure what the problem is on your end.
For the desktop view, I know there's a setting that needs to be changed to get that, but I don't know it myself.
For the window preview - Is that the only effect you're seeing? If you mean the preview in the task bar, that's not turned on or off by the desktop effects. If you right click on the task bar you can get to options and uncheck "show tooltips"

Hard Drive is full. Didn't empty trash bin but can't see deleted files.

My MBP Retina is warning me that hard drive is full. I have deleted large files, but they don't appear in trash. Can't see them in folder either. But memory issue persists. Never emptied trash bin, but still can't see them.

I have the same problem. My hard drive is full and my trash appears empty. When I drag items to trash it makes the sound but the file doesn't delete and or appear in the trash can. I've tried holding down "option" to empty, going to Finder and holding "shift+command+option" but nothing happens.
Help?

Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?

Like the topic - "Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?"
I installed this OS, and it looks nice, but it's terrible to use. I randomly have the volume controls get disabled, and sometimes the volume menu in the system tray does nothing when adjusted which I've never seen in an OS before. The trash won't empty. When I try to drag and drop newer files over existing ones, nothing happens. The old ones just stay there. I have to delete the old ones and then move the new ones. And when I go into the protected files to manage audio plugins (I make music), the first thing I hit are error codes galore, and password prompts that either don't popup when they should, or don't execute the command after I provide my password.
What can I do now that I installed the flames of **** onto my computer?

Back up all data before proceeding.
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.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
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:
resetp
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.

Buy a disk drive. Use TimeMachine. Put a 2nd partition that you use to clone your system.
Have 2-3 sets of your files: active working files, backup #1 and backup #2

Can't empty trash bin error: -8003

I'm trying to delete files from my Mac.
Whenever I try to empty my trash bin this message appears: Can't complete operation. Error found. (error: -8003)
Please help!

This is most commonly due to deleting files from a Time Machine backup using the Finder, which is not something you should be doing. You could easily have corrupted your backups at this point. If you can put those items back where they originally came from, that would be preferable. If not, see:
Can't empty the trash after deleting backups via the Finder
If this isn't due to deleting Time Machine backups, there may be other issues. Forcing the trash to empty using the methods that have been given by others may solve the problem, but cover up other symptoms. I would recommend repairing the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.

How to restore photos from iPhoto, I didn't not backup, and accidentally empty trash bin

please help, I accidentally empty my iPhoto trash bin, and i do not have backup, how do i restore my photos ?(go back in 2 weeks)....and i did not have iCloud. Please help, thanks.

Look in the system trash - with iPhoto '11 when you empty the iPhoto trash the photos go to the system trash
If you have emptied both then you need professional data recovery or a program like file salvage

'Secure Empty Trash' quits unexpectedly with external harddrive

I am running mavericks on a MacBook Pro, and removing old back-ups from an external harddrive, in order to make room for newer, time-machine backups.
After deleting an old back up, I am choosing to 'Secure Empty Trash', to clear out that space.
It started out with 650K plus items to delete and after a few days now, I'm down to 180K items.
But the system keeps quitting, and won't allow it to finish these final items.
I do get the question, "some items are locked, do you want to delete them" and I've tried choosing both yes, and no, and each time the process never gets started, just quits.
I'd like to get this drive cleared for more space.
Any suggestions on how to make it continue?
Thank you,

This was very helpful, thank you. With holding down the option key, I was able to get very far.
Now it's stuck again at 59K items left to delete. Holding down the option key is not making a difference.
The directions for working under the terminal system aren't very clear to understand.
Any other suggestions?
thank you so much.

Empty trash bin gives an error code 8003

When I choose empty trash or secure empty trash in Finder, it craps out with the following message
The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8003).
I used the diskutility to repair permissions, and that didn't solve it. I also rebooted the system, and that didn't resolve it either.
I don't see any messages in the Forums with this topic.
Anyone got any ideas what the problem is and how to fix it? I've got quite a bit of disk space that I'd like to recover and I can't the way it is right now.

Where is the trash bin on the mini?

I just got and can't find it

There is no system trash bin. Individual apps may have a trash bin where deleted files/data are placed. Tell us why you need to access a trash bin? What were you doing to lose something?

Secure Empty Trash - takes forever with SSD

I've installed 2 x 256 GB Samsung SSDs that I am now thinking of using as my bootdrive. But as I was playing around with them, I noticed that they turn into the slowest turtles when secure emptying the trash. Having done some investigating, one issue appears to be OS X's habit of zeroing the respective areas 7 times to meet the DoD standards. (I believe that is not the only issue though as secure emptying also takes much longer in my RAID 0 HD setup than it should for just writing that amount of data 7 times).
I couldn't find any clues on how to change this behaviour of overwriting 7 times. As a recent study suggests that most data is gone for good after a single overwrite on both, HDs and SSDs, I reckon that is good enough for me. Any ideas on how to change that behaviour? (I am aware of the regular emptying trash, what I want is a 'secure empty' with a single overwrite).

Thank you - that's very helpful.
I guess this response also implies there is no way to change the default behaviour of the GUI?

Cannot delete certain pictures in Iphoto on my IPad. no trash bin option for these particular photos.

I am having trouble deleting certain pictures on my IPad. They are jpeg pics but by selecting them individually under the photo icon or by using iphoto they will not delete. No trash can icon will highlight to drag them to. I believe there may be dublicate pictures so when I select no trash can appears. I can change to a different date with no dublicate pic and trash can appears. I am doing a backup of my Ipad and maybe I have to go to factory default and start over!!

How did these pictures get on the iPad?
If they were synced to it through iTunes on a computer, then the only way to delete them, is to un-sync them the same way.

Where is the Home Sharing option with Apple TV?

I have the updated version of iTunes (10.6.3) , and a brand new Apple TV. The instructions tell me that I just go to my iTunes > Advanced > and turn on my Home Sharing.
There is no option in this tab for Home Sharing.
Pretty lost here! Please help.

It was actually on, but turning it off and turning it back on again resolved my problem.

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:

Where can i find the trash bin for my mail?

Where is my trash bin to delete my mail?

Generally speaking it's at the bottom center of the full email message display.
Typically, folks who do not have a trash bin there have archiving set on. Look at Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [your email account] and turn "Archive Messages" to "Off".

How to delete time machine backups from trash bin

Hello,
I've got a little issue with time machine and doing something stupid on my part. I have seen different posts on this question, but it appears that most people haven't found a working solution, so I want to see if anybody has more insight.
A few weeks back I found that there were some files and folders that were getting backed up to time machine that I didn't want getting backed up for various reasons. Rather than wisely removing the individual folder and files like I've since learned, I removed the whole backup for that date to the trash bin. I know, bad choice.
I've tried to empty trash bin and delete the backups altogether, but error codes and permissions keep me from doing that. Space isn't an issue on the external drive I use for Time Machine, so I'd be fine with just getting the files OUT of trash and back into the folder with other backup dates-now that I know how to delete individual files. When I try and drag them back to TM folder from trash, get another error message saying something along the lines of the "drive not being able to be modified".
I've heard of some people using Terminal to remove files, while other folks say that that's dangerous and asking for bigger problems in the OS. So, what are my BEST options? Just want to get locked files out of the trash bin, don't care where they go at this point. I've tried the secure trash delete option and some other simple suggestions with no luck. Backups still sitting in trash.

Hi DonnaR,
What's not good is to remove them via the Finder or any way other than within Time Machine
Unfortunately this is what I did, and I know better now, but I can't undo what foolish thing I did. I have tried the steps to a T that you included in earlier post from this page- http://pondini.org/TM/E6.html using the Terminal method. The files are still sitting in trash, no change. I have also done the "secure trash" thing holding down option key and that hasn't worked either. I have also done repeated REPAIR DISK operations of the external drive within Disk Utility and a freeware program called Maintenance, and unless there' some special reboot needed, I still see the files there. At this point, and after reading more on pondini.org, I'd rather figure out a way to "Put Back" deleted backups sitting in trash bin to their place in Time Machine folder via finder, if I could figure out a permissions way around the error message I get saying "The operation can’t be completed because backup items can’t be modified." Is there some way of tricking the Finder window into letting me copy back items somehow? Once I get them back in, I will go through and delete the files from INSIDE Time Machine Star Wars view like suggested. Force deleting items from trash using TrashIt or OnyX is my very last resort. Once I get this figured out, I intend to upgrade to Mavericks, but I want to do it with everything working and clean. Thanks again!
