The Trash
can is used for two things: to store files you intend to delete,
and to eject an external disk such as a diskette, Zip, CD-audio
or DVD. Bear in mind that files placed in the Trash can are
not really deleted, but are kept there in case you need them
again. To get rid of them permanently, you must empty the
Trash.
1) Select
"Empty Trash" from the menu - "Special".
2) The
dialog box will appear like this.
In some
certain cases, when if f you try to empty the Trash while
locked files are inside, you'll get a message, saying "some
items could not be deleted because they are locked. Do you
want to delete the other items?" Although the rest of
items are deleted away, others are locked in the Trash. So
you try pressing Option while delete all this.
