Ghost file in trash bin
I have just run into a small problem. Before transferring some pictures to my IPhoto Library, I decided to delete a couple of files from the SD card. While deleting the files (by moving them to the trash and then emptying the trash) I had a system crash that required me to reset my Mac by holding the Power button.
After restarting, I was able to empty the trash, but I noticed that a "ghost" alias file had been created and was sitting there in my trash bin. Even though I deleted all the files, that file still lingers inside my trash bin and will not go away. If I touch the file with the mouse, it disappears for a moment, but comes back to 'life' again when I open the trash bin. It is a 0kb file, but if I try to drag it onto the desktop or even look at the file's information, it disappears for the moment.
What should I do to remove that file?
I would appreciate if anyone could give me some hint of what to do.
Thank you very much in advance
