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me to permissions, but given that the article "troubleshooting permissions in Mac OS X - Apple support issues" has been archived and is no longer updated by Apple (from Jan 2016), I'm hoping to get information updated here.

  Please help me!

• Put the files in the trash, empty the trash, and then doing some other stuff, and then when I couldn't find the files again, I reinstalled windows vista... now I need/want these files

  I sent files to the trash, and then I emptied the trash, and then realized that I only need/want these files, so I went to look for them, then screwed up everything while doing so somehow a shortcut on my desktop, then I put in the disc to reboot/reinstall the entire system windows vista... can we recover these items , or they are gone forever?

  I don't know what kind to reinstall you did.  If it was a repair/upgrade, you may be in better shape (fact he preserve your data and programs after the re - install - then you have made the right kind of re - install).

  If you did a reinstall to repair/upgrade and if you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

  If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

  If this does not work, here are a few free recovery programs that might help (if you did a lot for the system, because the files have been deleted, then chances are that less as they might otherwise be - see notes below):

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html (first try Recuva)

  http://www.SoftPerfect.com/products/FileRecovery/

  http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

  The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).  The fact that you did a re - install is not good for what is successful, - but it's worth a try.

  Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

  Good luck and I hope this helps!

• right click on windows Explorer causes crash! Sometimes when I try to empty the trash, it also blocks? I use windows 7?

  right click on windows Explorer causes crash!  Sometimes when I try to empty the trash, it also blocks?  I use windows 7?

  Right-click accidents are caused by third-party shell extensions. To identify the culprit, you must use a utility like ShellExView and disable context menus not Microsoft managers one by one (or disable items in a batch) and observe.

• Windows 7 takes forever to empty the trash

  When I delete the file it takes forever to empty the Recycle Bin on Windows 7
  Something must be wrong, for example, it will take nearly 7 minutes to empty the trash containing 2 GB!

  I feel that I did something wrong because my first installation of windows 7 this problem does not occur

  Thank you

  Zvika

  Hi Zvika,

  If running Chkdsk (according to the post of Ramesh Kumar) does not help, you can determine whether this problem is caused by third-party shell extensions. You can use ShellExView from Nirsoft to work.

• When I try to access a web site, it goes into a cycle of "waiting on windows 8 or 3 pro surface and cannot empty the trash.

  I have some problems with a new surface pro 3.

  A. when I try to access a web site, it goes into a vicious circle of "waiting for...". That does not stop

  b. I can't empty the trash or delete a file downloaded my wife. I just get a "not responding".

  c. when I try to access the files on any mobile device, for example Flash Player, it is reported there is no files when I know there are many

  any suggestions?

  Dr

  I'm not sure that these are related between them, but

  A: open the options of IE, on the connection tab, click on "Network settings" and make sure that everything is disabled (off), then reboot and see if it helps.

  B: what process stops responding when you click the delete key?

  C: it may simply mean that the file permissions are not configured to allow you to access the files on a flash drive.  Do you know if there are security settings applied?

• Cannot eject my external drive after emptying the trash

  I have a very specific question and I was wondering if someone else he met.  This is for Windows XP.  If I delete a file from my external USB drive (happens to all readers regardless of the brand, size, etc.) and empty the trash, I can't remove the disc.  This only happens with this particular scenario
  but so far is happening on 2 PC's, I have at home.

  I checked for file handles and there is no open file handles.  I tried to wait a while but still not good.  My only solution is to shut down the PC and remove the disc.

  It would be great if I can find a solution to this problem very weird.  Thank you all.

• Suddenly, I have only the possibility of good to empty the trash.

  I went to empty the trash yesterday and the only option was assured. I thought it was weird and clicked. After a few hours, the computer was still churning away. He left overnight and it was still churning away. I need to ensure empty. I would delete it and come back to life as usual. However, I can't find any way to go back to normal from the trash dump.

  Fixed it myself. I forgot to do what I always tell those who ask me for help: use the Mac Help. Answer: in the Finder under Advanced preferences is a check box for safe dumping trash or vice versa. I don't know how this got checked, since I've never used this feature, but there you go.
