Cant Delete From my Trash Folder

Hi,

Just a simple question I hope.

I have a mkv file in my trash but I cant delete it.

I keep getting the message "The operation cant be completed as mkv file is in use.

I have restarted my mac and tried taking it out of the trash and putting it back in but I just cant get rid of it


Any ideas because it is really annoying me now !! 😕

Try to do Secure Empty Trash. and do it.


Are you using Any P2P Application.


If you are using it , Do quit the Application and try to empty the Tarsh.


IF STILL NOT HAPPENING


Go to User Accounts, click on "Login Items" if that particular Item is "Checked in " Un-Check it" and then try to Delete.


If it still not happening.


Try to use any Third party application.
