Trash and Terminal
Yep dragging the file from the trash into the terminal works great as it then shows the full path. Just edit it to add rm -rf (it there are directories involved, f =forced). i.e I have a file on a different drive dropping the folder from the Trash gave me this:
[localhost:~] root# /Volumes/Current-Work/.Trashes/501/SawmillRoot so I just altered this to: [localhost:~] root#cd /Volumes/Current-Work/.Trashes/501/SawmillRoot cd .. (to get up a directory) then typed rm -rf SawmillRoot Notice I was root at the time, so before I did this to get to root I typed sudo tcsh (my current shell)
Trash and Terminal
I had exctely the same problem. Even the rm -rf command in the terminal didn't work, although I was logged in as root. Finally, I tried to look at the informations via the Finder (command-i on the selected file), and saw that the file was locked. I just unlocked the file, dragged it back to the trash, and emptied it successfully!!! |
