Having trouble emptying my trash.

[Nuge]

There is a certain file in my trash bin that won't delete, I don't believe it is locked or anything, it just says, "The operation can’t be completed because the item “sixtyforce” is in use."

"sixtyforce" was this emulator that I downloaded, but it was the older version of it, so I wanted to delete it, but that message keeps coming up.

Can anyone help me out with this?

Try restarting.

Empty the trash holding down the alt key and it should force empty what ever is in the trash.

did you eject the dmg before emptying the trash? this is assuming you are running sixtyforce straight from the dmg however

I did restart already, didn't work.

I tried emptying while holding alt/option

And I believe I ejected/deleted every other file affiliated with the sixtyforce file
