demasterbaas Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I have some files in my trash I can't remove... Tried dragging them in to BatChmod and set all permissions, no luck... How can I get to the file to remove them manualy? This is one of the files: /private/tmp/1621/C/.Trashes/501/index.html (location when clicking Get Info from the file in the trash) Where is the folder 'private' located?? When I quit Parallels (and the Windows partition unmounts) the files disappear, so meaby they are on the Windows disk?? Please help!!!

demasterbaas Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 Solution: 1 Mounted the disk image using Parallels image mounter (so without starting de VM) by right clicking the .pvf file from your VM and chose open with... 2 From finder hit Go > Go to folder 3 Right click a file in the trash and type over the full location of the file so you can open the folder 4 Star Terminal and type "rm -rf " (notice the space after -rf) 5 Select all the files from the folder you just opened and drag them in to the Terminal window 6 Hit enter The files are still there, but all Zero KB. So I guess some disk repair or rebooting/mounting will fix that!
