Try right-clicking or control-click on the items and select the Trash option on the pop-up menu.


It might be an issue with the Trackpad's settings. I have trouble dragging & dropping with the new Trackpads unless I uncheck the "Force" or "Haptic" Trackpad setting (I forget the exact name of the setting). This is the last setting on the first tab of the Trackpad System Preferences.
