Cannot trash files! Error code 36, file in use.

An example of the original text I get is

'The Operation can't be completed because the item "Burn Notice" is in use.'

Then when I try and use the secure trash empty I get

'the Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "Season 1" can't be read or written.

(Error code -36)'

When I use Trash it or Terminal I don't get any messages.

I tried restarting but its the same effect unfortunately.

These are screenshots of the info folder when I select a folder and when I select the contents of that folder. Where the file destination says Music on the second screenshot, that was the name of an external WD HDD. The problem I have with doing Disk repair, surely that won't work as that external HDD is no longer in use. It stopped working and is no longer connected to my Mac so I can't repair the permissions on it or attach it to delete these files.

I cannot delete a single episode as they come as these Unix files, also if I try and delete a single file it wants to empty the entire trash. Is there a way to only try and delete one thing from inside the trash folder?

I'm going to attempt disk repair anyway see if any of my drives need it and I will feedback.

I verified and repaired each External HDD, however it will not allow me to verify or repair disc permissions on any of them. Do you think this could be because they are NTFS formatted? Also I tried to empty trash after the verifications and repairs and my computer crashed and restarted. This happened before when I had an old internal Hard drive and it was through a trash problem. I kept trying to delete the trash it kept crashing turned out I had some sort of Kernel corruption and my computer died and I had to buy a new internal drive for it.

I think I remember installing something on my Mac that allows my NTFS drives to communicate with my Mac. Because i read and write from the drives all the time however Repairing disc permissions still doesn't come up as an option.

Ok it took me a while to come back to this. I finally figured out that i needed to re download the program I'm using to allow my imac to read my external HDD's. Once i'd done that i went into each and repaired permissions on each and made sure i could read and write to all discs. Once i did this I downloaded clean my mac and made sure all the drives where up to scratch and then proceeded to clean my mac. now the trash empties all the way and the speed has been much improved. It's still a 2008 iMac so it's not moving at lightspeed but i feel it'll last me a little longer now.

Thanks to everyone who tried helping and hopefully this will help someone else.
