Trash won't empty, please help! EDIT: SOLVED!

EDIT: So sorry, I am really quite stupid 😊. I resarted my computer and it deleted fine. Thank you though!




Hello,


After I installed Lion, Chrome started to work quite badly (wasn't closing properly). So, I sent the application to the trash and tried to empty it, but got this message:


The operation can’t be completed because some items had to be skipped. For each item, choose File > Get Info, make sure “Locked” is deselected, and then check the Sharing & Permissions section. When you are sure the items are unlocked and not designated as Read Only or No Access, try again.


I tried to put it back in the applications folder, but I could start it up again as it was 'damaged. So, I went online and reinstalled it. After installing the 'new' Chrome, I tried to empty the trash, but got the same message. I look at the 'Get Info' of the chrome in the trash and it isn't locked. What should I do? Please help me!
