Can't empty the trash due to a file with the filename of garbage

MacBook Pro El Capitan - Trash has a/b/folder with a file with Chinese characters of garbage looking like file name which can not be changed or done something with. Trash does not open. sudo rm - rf don't get rid of it either. Any ideas?

Thank you.

Check SystemPreferences-> users & groups-> LoginItems, to see if there is something that has to do with this file, if so, remove it with the sign, if not, the next step:

Restart the mac and then empty the trash.

  • How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive?

    How can I empty the Windows installation on my hard drive, please?  I was going to re - install, then I changed my mind.
    Now, every time that I reboot, instead of launching Windows XP Pro, it try to run Windows installation.  The installation program appears as a second menu item under "Windows XP Pro" on the black screen at launch.

    How can I remove it from the startup screen and flush it out of my system?

    Any correction, automated for this?

    Thank you.

    It is difficult to determine what you did, but the symptoms you describe can be eliminated by editing the boot.ini file (you can also make things really difficult if you make a mistake when you edit the boot.ini file, so be careful).  Will not be "flush out the Windows installation" of your system, but it will stop the menu from appearing at startup time.

    See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289022

    Your boot.ini file probably has a second line in the [operating systems] section.  Make sure that you delete only the line that points to the installation routine.

  • Can't empty the trash with file with strange name

    I have an old file named "ˇ¡␀␀ˇ¡␀␀␀" ␀ 9 "9" which is not removed when I emptied the Recycle Bin. I tried to rename it but it does not accept the changes. Using the Terminal doesn't work either so far:

    Mac - Pro: deletethis me$ find. -inum 425884608 - remove

    find:-delete: rmdir(./ˇ¡␀␀ˇ¡␀␀␀"9\006␀"9): invalid argument

    What can I do?

    Have you tried to use the option + command + delete?

  • can't empty the Trash because of locked elements and certain permissions

    I want to well to empty the trash, but am getting blocked by two numbers, starting with:

    (1) ''there are some elements locked in the trash. " Do you want to remove all items, including those locked or just unlocked items? »

    Unlike previous messages or suggestions on the support Forum, this text box does not actually identify the locked objects, not their names, places or anything like that. Similarly, when I press Option with Secure Empty Trash, it scatters only my Finder window such that I can not select anything.

    I have browsed through the trash looking for ASCII files or other weird characters and have removed these (created a new folder on the desktop), but this has not changed anything.  When I try to Secure Empty Trash again, the same note appears.

    I tried the two options offered by this text box ('Remove all items' or 'Remove Unocked items'), but regardless of my choice, the following text is displayed:

    (2) the operation cannot be performed because you have not granted access to some of the elements. »

    I guess that brings me to permissions, but given that the article "troubleshooting permissions in Mac OS X - Apple support issues" has been archived and is no longer updated by Apple (from Jan 2016), I'm hoping to get information updated here.

    Can Hoow I empty the trash?

    Assuming that the icon appears on the desktop everything you have to do is right click and then click on the empty basket.

    Or open it, click the file menu drop down and then click on the empty basket.

    Once you clear, the files will be permanently deleted. Only specialist file recovery software will recover accidentally deleted files from the bin and even in this case there is no guarantee.

  • How can I empty the Outbox?

    I can't understand how to empty my Outbox. I know how to do this with the trash, but impossible to find the same thing for the Outbox.

    In addition, what it means to compress in the Outbox. Nothing seems to happen when I click on that.

    You can dump any folder (or do other things) in a blink of an eye.

    Open it, select a message to set the focus, use ctrl + a on the keyboard which will select everything, then the delete key will do the job.

  • How can I empty the organizing items catalogue? I want to start again...

    I want clearly on the catalog, do not delete is not the original image. But I want to import the photos again, because they are now better organized in their source files.

    Better to create a new catalog empty.

    If you have already added captions and ratings, tags, use the file menu to "write metadata to files. These data will be recovered during the 'import' your files again.

    I wonder if you properly use the Organizer. The Organization of the files is a secondary concern; you use categories and keywords/albums mainly. If you want to 'reorganize' your folder tree, you can do from within the Organizer; However, you can do without if you have a correct structure of categories, keywords and albums.
