douche Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 And NOT all files when they are in Trash...that way my desktop won't get cluttered. I'm using OS X 10.4.8 Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/45438-can-i-delete-just-one-or-a-selection-of-files/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecker Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 (edited) Why bother putting things in the trash if you don't want to erase them? hecker EDIT: I read that it is not possible (at all) to remove single files from the trash. There are, however, some apps that enhance the functionality of OSX's trashbin: http://www.mac-compost.com/ http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19057 I googled around and there seem to be quite a few.

douche Posted March 16, 2007 Author Share Posted March 16, 2007 Well, Compost doesn't seem to do what i want (selectively delete files from Trash). However, Smart Trash can, but i only wish it was FREEWARE. I just googled to for "osx trash" and i found another program here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12669. It's called Trash X, although, again; i'm NOT sure it can do exactly what i want, but it can delete files and folder BEFORE sending them to trash, which is still useful. Too bad it isn't freeware, either. Anybody know of a freeware app that can remove selected files from Trash or do what Trash X does?
