Hi David,

I would take a look at the article: if you can't empty the trash on your Mac.

I hope this helps

Copying/moving files from download folder Hi. Lately, whenever I try moving or copying a file or folder from the download folder, it "changes" into another file in the destination folder. Always the same picture. For instance, if i drag a folder with dokument to desktop, the picture (which is one of my own) appears. Any clues? Thanks!

Manually stacking files? I'm trying to stack my files on top of one another manually but whenever I try to do so, the files just goes back to its old spot on my desktop. And if I try to slightly move a file from its current spot, it just goes right back, even though it isn't going on top of another file. I'm not sure how to fix this.
