Does anyone know what this error means ?

This were files and/or folders i grabbed from a FTP server, I deleted.


First time i saw this message.

Update: I tried "Force quit" Finder and restarting Mac... Didn't help.

Solved.

Solved.

1. Power on Mac in Safe Boot )Hold down Shift until progress bar appears) Login to the computer with the affected user ..

Open Terminal

2. Run the following 2 commands (press Return after each command):

cd ~/
rm -R .Trash

Important: Misuse of the "rm" command, such as by mistyping a pathname, can result in data loss. There are no spaces after ".Trash" or "~/" in the command above.

Note: If the about rm command results in a "Permission denied" message, log in as an administrator and use these commands (replace "[usersHome]" with the name of the user's Home folder (normally, the user account's short name):

cd /Users/[usersHome]
sudo rm -R .Trash

Quit Terminal


Restart Mac..
