Deleting specific files in Mac OS X 10.5.8's Trash?

Hello.


In Windows and Linux/Debian's Gnome v2.30.2, I can highlight specific file(s) to delete from its recycle bin. Can I do the same in Mac OS X 10.5.8's trash? It seems like I have to empty everything or restore the one(s) to keep first before emptying it.


Thank you in advance. 🙂

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8), 2.4 Ghz; A1260 model; 15" size.

I was so pleased to find your reply because I found it very clear to understand (being in my 70's and not tech savvy) and the best thing of all it has worked and resolved my problem, thank you very much indeed. To those people who are kind enough to reply to posts, thank you very much, but please help us oldies with simple step by step instructions and remember too that we are not all American xxxxx
