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.
I know it's more than a year later but I just had the same problem and couldn't find any solution on the forums. I simply changed the file extension to .avi and was able to delete it after this.
That really worked. Thank you el_blowfly
