Does this mac have a Time Machine back-up going?
Just empty the freakin’ trash - and if the owner of the Mac needs to, they can go back and get anything they need from the TimeMachine back-up.
THen quit bitching that Mac is not like Windows... smh.
Im not sure that’s a good idea. Files permanently deleted by emtying the trash are, I believe, not recoverable, even if one has a Time Capsule.
I thought it was possible to select a particular file that one wishes to delete in the Trash, and then press the “delete” key on the keyboard.
That doesn’t work? I’d try myself, but power is out cuz of this stupid hurricane.
