webfact Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Every time I try to move trash into the bin this message pops up I check/repaired permissions to no avail. Any advise is appreciated /Snow Leopard 10.6.6 Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nullx8 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 that happen for all files ? normally this message pop's up only for files located on a volume OSX can not directly control. such as Network volumes, or filesystems not 100% Supported like (FAT or NTFS volumes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JusMe Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I think it's just a warning that you're deleting a file from wherever it's being kept. Somewhere, and sorry I can't think where, you can reset those warnings. Once the file has been "deleted" it should still be in the trash bin until that is emptied. Again, you'll get a warning about losing whatever is in the bin when it's emptied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDNinKS Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Once the file has been "deleted" it should still be in the trash bin until that is emptied. Again, you'll get a warning about losing whatever is in the bin when it's emptied. This applies to external devices as well, such as a thumb drive. You can delete/move to trash all the info on your thumb drive and until you then empty the trash you will not get the capacity back on the thumb drive.

nullx8 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 you guys mixing up things here. 1st. its not a Windows Dialog ... this means the OS really MEAN what it show (zero room for speculations). and in this case it means that with confirming the Dialog, the file will be gone forever. this usually happens if deleting from netowork or uncontrolled volumes. OR the Volume does not have a Trash at all. i assume the screenshoot was somewhere in your home folder. can you open a terminal and check of the folder .Trashes/ .Trash is there ? (im most cases the one in the homefolder is missing) open terminal: and do following cd ~ mkdir ~/.Trash sudo chown $UID ~/.Trash chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash if the mkdir command returns an error .. ignore it .. the permission fix need to apply anyway. anyway, aren't the topic starter a bot ?

There (almost) never is...it was me, not the gear...they're worth every Baht... that is correct, if you "switch" from WIndows or Linux .. you will find yourself quite a number of times in the situation where you try finding functions in the "windows way" and be after finding is very much suprised that the feature/option was always right in front of you short: Too easy to be true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
