How to determine if my MAC is still copying/transferring

I have recently sent a LARGE amount of items to my hard drive. A few hours later, I am not wanting to delete the items from my hard drive to free up space. I am receiving the following error: “.Trash” can’t be opened right now because it’s being used by another task, such as moving or copying an item or emptying the Trash. Try again when the current task is complete.


It will not allow me to empty trash. I need the space to export an iMovie. I could be getting this message because it is still transferring. How can I find out if its still in progress? Where would I look to see if there is an error or if its still working?


Thanks for any help. I don't want to reboot or shut it down if its still in progress.
