Hi,
The only folder there is backups.backupdb, 17.5 MB - and although it goes through the motions and the sounds, still it's there. I tried several times, including a Restart. Any clues?
Thanks a lot,

backups.backupdb is a timemachine back up file type.
You may be able to do a "secure empty trash" By holding the command key on the keyboard when emptying the trash
Thank you but...still there. I used to empty trash with TM backups in them. Why not now?
Notice also that 17.5 MB is negligible, meaning most of it is already gone.
You might want to check out Pondini's Time Machine tips - I do not use it, so I can't help; however, I believe that I've heard you can't (or shouldn't) use Finder to delete anyting TM related (that it needs to be done from within TM if I remember correctly)..
You can't delete that folder by any means as long as it's on an active Time Machine volume. Deselect the volume in the Time Machine preference pane.
Thanks. It worked.
Why isn't the system trash emptying?
