That's not much info. Are the files already in the Trash? If so then you don't select one, you simply select Empty Trash. If you have done this does the Trashcan show it is empty? When you try to empty the trash do you get any error messages - if so, what are they?


If there is a problem with Trash, then try using Trash It! 5.1 to both empty the trash and fix the problem.
