If the above steps do not resolve your issue, see the section titled “Emptying the Trash” in the following resource. Please note that the steps outlined in this resource are highly advanced, and must be executed with caution. Typographical error or misuse of the "rm -rf" command can result in data loss. Insertion of a space in the wrong place could result in the complete deletion of data on your hard disk, for example.
