Emptying the trash.

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone might know what to do when you can't empty the trash. I'm cleaning out my external hard drive, and I'm trying to keep the trash empty in the process. However, everytime I try to empty it, nothing happens. I even went into the menu bar and it told me the action

Are there items in your trash? Normally, when you delete from external drives, the items are gone or stored on a trash folder on the drive (if it's big enough). Only items deleted from your mac's internal hard drive are put in the mac's trash folder. On Sep 11, 2012, at 9:08 AM, Joanna West wro

Re: Emptying the trash.

If the external drive has no trash, the items would simply be gone. Unless the mac is way different, it will not save anything to trash unless the item was already on its own hard drive, not an external drive. On Sep 11, 2012, at 9:28 AM, Joanna West wrote: > Oh yes! There are definitely items

Well, as it turns out, there was nothing in the trash after all. I've never seen that happen before though. My husband and I have always deleted items from our external hard drives, and they have always gone to the trash on the Mac itself. Hmmm... Interesting... Love endures all things. On Se
