empty wastebasket

I have now for the last 3 weeks been trying to empty the wastebasket - one file remains always (see screenshot). I have gone through Terminal, I have tried whether there were special privileges - with Mail open and Mail closed.

Any ideas?

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
