Mac OS X Mavericks - iTunes 11.1.2 - Video Delete Problem

.


I have to quit iTunes, before I can empty the trash.


I have two machines running Mac OS X Mavericks and iTunes 11.1.2


I run Home Sharing with iTunes on the Host machine to share the videos over the local net with the user machine, also running iTunes, and with the Apple TV.


I sometimes play the video files on the Host machine, and I sometimes play the video files.


When I have seen the files, and I want to delete them from the host machine, I go into iTunes, right click on the file I wish to delete, select delete in the dropdown menu, and then I select the button, "Move to Trash."


The files get moved to the trash.


But, when I try to empty the trash, iTunes has not yet released the files. I get notified that I cannot delete the files because they are still in use.

I've been seeing this for some time now, including before Mavericks. I was hoping the OS update would solve this. No dice. I hadn't thought about Home Sharing, though - I wonder if that's making iTunes keep its hold on the file despite the host computer no longer needing it.


I've got very little free HD space, so I need to get rid of videos as soon as I'm done watching them, so this has been really annoying.
