Q: Not able to empty large files and folders from recycle bin
Recently I removed few large files and file folders because there was not sufficient disk space available. But these files are not getting removed from recycle bin.
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)

Please relaunch the Finder, then from the Finder menu bar, select
Finder ▹ Preferences... ▹ Advanced
and uncheck the box marked
Empty Trash securely
if it's checked. You will only have that box if you're running OS X 10.10 or older. Try again to empty the Trash.
