Q: issue with deleting and moving files / directories
Some facts in advance:
Macbook Pro 13 inch (medio 2010)
2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
There is a problem with deleting a bunch of files and directories. Sometimes putting them in the bin is a problem, sometimes that works fine.
If it doesn't work properly the system is hanging in the window showing putting the files into the bin. No message of error.
I often have to force-stop the finder since nothing is happening.
I first wanted to delete a lot of files and directories, but now even deleting empty folders is a problem.
Then deleting the bin is somewhat the same story, sometimes that works allright and then with another file the system keeps hanging in trying to delete.
Then I tried to move the items to a usb-stick trying to get rid of the items in another way. The same problems.
I had run the disk-check-utility: first there was a problem, but I fixed that via recovery-mode (start-up with command - r, run diskutitlity).
I did the PRAM-reset.
I did the remove the trash via terminal rm -ri ~/.Trash
Still the same problems occur.
Anyone????
