Q: 2T in my trash and cannot empty it.
I deleted one year of backups from my external time machine hard drive. I did not realize they would go to my internal hard drive trash. I tried to delete one folder at a time from my trash but that would not work. Tried deleting with Clean My Mac. It says it's empty but it is not. Clicking on the trash can and then empty has left me with a window saying emptying the Trash, items to delete 912,198 and it has stopped and is greyed out.
What have I done and how can I recover?
