Hi Tony, Either, Select the files that are locked - then Go to File > Get Info (or by pressing 'Command-I keyboard combination) and deselect the item's Locked checkbox (the little padlock) you will be asked for your administrator password. Then Empty the Trash. Or try: Press and hold the mouse button on the Trash icon in the Dock. The contextual menu for Trash will display. Press and hold the Option key or the Shift-Option keyboard combination, Select Empty Trash from the contextual menu for Trash. Release the keys pressed and held in step 2. Cheers, Ronni
