Can't empty trash in Tiger!

[DavidLeblond]

When I upgraded to Tiger, I did a clean install and used the migration assistant to copy over my applications and settings. Unfortunately this copied over some Safari plugins (such as PithHelmet) which trashed Safari. I looked up how to fix this, and was told to delete my SIMBL directory (I'm not at my Mac but I believe it was in Application Support or something like that). I did that and Safari worked fine. Unfortuately, now I can't empty that SIMBL directory from my trash because it is "currently in use." Its even currently in use if Safari is not running. How can I find out which process is using it?

I've had that same problem with some pictures I've tried deleting. I opened them in a Finder slideshow then trashed them. After trying to empty the trash it says they are in use. When I reboot and empty the trash it works fine.

When I reboot and empty the trash it works fine.

What the primate in the black jammies said..

A reboot should take care of it. You might even be able to get away with a logout/login if the stuff was in your ~/Library/Application Support/. If it was in the root Lib, you'll have to reboot.
