MacBook Trash Problem

Can't drag items to trash in a MacBook running OS 10.7.5. Files have an item below the filename that looks like a circle with a diagonal line through it.


Help!

Try this:


Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:


Open the Terminal in the Utilities' folder and paste the following at the prompt:


sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash


Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.
