Do you mean empty the trash or something else?
Also, please explain what happens -- "I can't" doesn't give us much to work with.
from the contextual menu. An Info dialog should open.
Hi Thanks I tried that and am a little wiser. However the problem is that I select the trash and click securely empty. The service runs but nothing leaves the trash.
Hi Thanks for the reply. I can select all and then click Empty Securely the service runs but nothing actually leave the trash.
Hi Linc,
1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu. An Info dialog should open.
Does not work in Firefox 19.0.2
Works in Safari though.
The Show Info does show me as Owner and with Read and Write permissions.
Other than that it seems we are waiting on a reply to Eric's post.
