HD Clean up

I'm in the process of cleaning up duplicates on the HD. What I want to know "positively", is Trash Bin fully isolated, and cannot be accessed/used by OS X 10.7.3 when exercising applications resident on the HD.

Note: I am using Parallels 7 for Windows apps.


iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

If what you're asking is "can items in the trash be used"? The answer is no.

Tough to answer. Maunally deleting files that are used by applications and/or the system can sometimes cause unwanted effects. If you deleted files created in those applications by the user you'll be ok. Can you be a little more specific about what kinds of files you're concerned about?

I'd like to tell you that since you've run the applications without incident that everything's going to be fine but I'm afraid I can't......yet.
