␀␀
␀␀␀.?␀

Hello again

I posted this problem a couple of days ago and thought it had been solved. Stupidly I posted the reply after trying it on a different Mac. The Mac with the recycle bin containing
␀␀
␀␀␀.?␀ that will not delete, will still not delete, even after trying the terminal prompt suggested.

Can anyone else suggest a solution, and what on earth the file might be?!

Many thanks

Hello, you can try post #18 (ForceEmptyTrash)

any other ideas anyone?

cheers
