Every time I try to empty my trashcan (note: nothing is there except 2 files being mentioned that I can't see), it gives me about 5 pop-ups saying the following...

  • The operation can’t be completed because the item “prl_disp_service.socket” is in use.
  • The operation can’t be completed because the item “ParallelsDispatcherService” is in use.
  • The operation can’t be completed because the item “prl_naptd” is in use.
  • The operation can’t be completed because the item “prl_disp_service” is in use.
  • The operation can’t be completed because the item “libQtXmlPrl.4.dylib” is in use.
  • The operation can’t be completed because the item “libQtNetworkPrl.4.dylib” is in use.
  • The operation can’t be completed because the item “libQtGuiPrl.4.dylib” is in use.
  • The operation can’t be completed because the item “libQtCorePrl.4.dylib” is in use.
  • The operation can’t be completed because the item “libprl_sdk.dylib” is in use.

I followed this MacRumors Guide by GGJstudios to empty EVERY file related to Parallels 6.

Any ideas to get my trash can to normal? :(

Thanks.

You know, if you leave candy in the trash it attracts ants and the like.

Can really muck up your system.

At least your signature is honest XD

UPDATE: Well what do you know...a simple shutdown cleared this issue up!

Yay! :)

This is an issue in Lion. I run across it quite frequently when installing or opening up a file, then trying to delete it. A fresh re-boot usually clears the issue.
