I've been having a weird problem where I try to empty the Trash but a file will not want to be deleted because it's currently "in use." I'm well aware of this error, but in these cases these files definitely are not in use. They're either files that I haven't opened in forever, or never at all, or files I have recently opened but quit the app using them.
For instance, just now I can't delete a game because an .icn file (a skin file for a unit in the game) is "in use." I call shenanigans on my mac! I haven't even played that game in months, much less running it right now! And I've never opened that file with any other app.
Has anyone else had this problem? I've recently clean installed Leopard after months of using a simple upgrade. It solved some issues, but that one seems to have gotten worse. I have to log out completely to empty my Trash, since I don't know which process exactly to quit. Any help?
