Aug 11, 2014 5:11 AM in response to Linc Davisby costasfromny,When I drag the files from the Trash folder out into another folder or the desktop it creates copies of them. Does not allow me to move them out of trash can. When I delete these copied files again and I try empty the trash can, it works for the copied files but not for the original ones. Tonight I will try moving them to the same folder they came from in My Book and see if that works.

Aug 11, 2014 5:37 PM in response to Linc Davisby costasfromny,An update for you: Before I did anything else I thought of trying to move those folders that e=refused to be emptied from trash can into My Book (the external hard drive). That was done. Whereas if I tried to move them anywhere else they would be copied and still be left in trash can. When I tried to move them to their point of origin they were moved. Then I moved to trash each one and emptied. Worked. Except when I go to one folder remaining which still refuses to be emptied via secure or not. I saw this was shared somehow. I removed that and tried again to no avail. I then moved to trash each file under the folder and emptied. Worked. So now I have empty folder non-shared which refuses to be emptied. I did your suggestion with repair disk. still not working. No idea what is wrong with this empty folder that refuses to be emptied from trash.

Aug 11, 2014 7:00 PM in response to Linc Davisby costasfromny,I did. Not working. Found some others having same problem and one suggestions but cannot make them work. Problem: "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items."
