Thanks for the reply, but that’s exactly what I’ve been doing for years whenever I’m on a Mac. I thought there was a less time-consuming way to delete specific files from the trash can. I bet there’s a way to do it, it’s just that few people know how to do it.

Move all of the trash files over to a thumb drive, take the thumb drive and plug it into a Windoze computer, move all of the files to a new folder, delete all of the files, go into the trash can and get rid of the files you want to get rid of, recover the files you wanted to save back to the new folder, move those files back to the thumb drive, take the drive and plug it back into the Mac, move the files back onto the Mac and then back into the trash bin.

Piece of cake.
