El captain, cannot delete files in the Recycle Bin

Strange, but I downloaded a widget, and when I try to delete, El Captain never allows me to do... I tried various Apple Help instructions, but they all fail. Here are some results from the example of the console:

I also tried sudo rm... and used my pw for the user account, but it does not work

I have an administrator account on the operating system as well, so I recorded it and tried to erase the inode, but he wouldn't let me leave the user account.

I think I need to get the full rights of the Admin account while I am in the user account...

any ideas?

Try to keep the Option key while emptying the trash.

    Hello

    I'm unable to access my trash, everythime I click on the folder, it says windows Explorer has a problem, then said restarting windows.

    1. On the desktop, right-click on the Recycle Bin.
    2. Then click the Empty trash to empty its contents.
    3. You will be asked if you are sure that before it permanently deletes the files.
    4. If you're absolutely sure, then click Yes to clear the contents of the Recycle Bin.
    5. Alternatively, you can double-click the Recycle Bin to open and examine its contents.
    6. And then on the file menu, click empty the Recycle Bin.
    7. After confirmation, Windows Vista will be empty all files from the Recycle Bin.

    Go to control panel / customization / Desktop Icons and remove the trash, click OK and close.  Then go back and add the trash.  See if the new basket has the same problem.

  • Deleting files from the Recycle Bin

    I'm removing three trash .avi files. I get the error message: "cannot delete dgx:file is used by another program or user; Close the program and try again." The x in the dg can be 2, 4 or 5 depending on the .avi should be deleted.  First of all, the files are not called "dgx" and I do not know what program to close.

    Hello and thanks for the reply. Google and tried one solution. Right click and cut the file, the computer restarts, then deleted and removed. I forgot to mention that these files were initially removed from the external drive. If the cut function should have taken control of the external hard drive (e.g. by the user). That seems reasonable? Yes, safe mode would have been my next test. Thanks again.

  • Windows Explorer does not show deleted files in the Recycle Bin, but under the console or to TotalCmd I can show the deleted files in C:\$RECYCLE. BIN (fixed!, see Edit 3)

    I think the bug has something to do with the partitions created with TrueCrypt.

    Hi, I have the same problem and never tried TrueCrypt. I suspect that the problem is elsewhere.

    I also tried the command "rd" and ccleaner. no luck... I'm always, too, waiting for a solution

    I think the bug has something to do with the partitions created with TrueCrypt.

    Indeed. Make the truecrypt as removable disk volume in options of fixed the problem :)

  • Cannot delete files to the trash (Recycle Bin access denied)

    System: Windows 7 Ent SP1 x 64, i7 930, 24GO RAM with all updates

    When I try to delete files in Windows Explorer, I get the following error (most of the time, but not always):

    Window with the title 'Recycle Bin access denied' and the message

    " cannot be moved to the trash. Do you want to permanently delete it? »

    I can then permanently delete the file, even if I sent to the trash.

    I tried the following (nothing works):

    -checked to see if the file is locked with Process Explorer (find handle or DLL)-it is not (and it can be removed permanently)

    -deleted all the recycle bins on all drives & restarted. New recycling bins have been created, but it did not help.

    -changed of owner of baskets and all files as (with the takeown command). Corrupt system baskets complained, emptied their and restored to their previous state. This did not help the primary problem.

    -set the maximum size to the size of the disk on all baskets. It has no effect on the main problem.

    -J' also checked the security for the folders tab $RECYCLE. BIN on all readers and define "Full control" for users. SYSTEM and administrators had already 'Full comtrol. This did not help also.

    What is strange (and new), is when I open the Recycle Bin, the files are always considered to be "Tiles" (which I did not). If I put it in 'Détails', the change is not permanent - the next time I open the Recycle Bin, the files are showed once again as "Tiles".

    What can I do to be able to delete (all) files via the Recycle Bin?

    Thanks Mike for the response, but none of the methods helped. There was no malware and even in safe mode, I could not delete files to the Recycle Bin. In addition, the original administrator account could not delete to the Recycle Bin.

    But I think I found the culprit:

    Apparently, this problem showed that in the downloads folder, to which I had many junctions (to be easily accessible). Due to lack of space on the C: drive, I remembered that I have moved through properties-> location on a disk with more space. Instead of the old folder in C:\Users\ downloads I put a junction pointing to the new location.

    Now, I had old junctions pointing to C:\Users\personal, which in turn was a junction pointing to a new location. Registration/creation/look at one/etc files in folder downloads accessible through 2 junctions was of course OK, but delete somehow was not able to delete files to the Recycle Bin. When I fixed the remaining junctions to point directly to the new location of the download folder, delete started working OK again.

    Summary:

    Delete the file (SHFileOperation?) is not able to use the trash, if the file is accessible via junction 2 points (or more?).
