Can't Empty Trash

[Mary H]

Hi,

I have a movie in my trash I cannot delete. I can't transfer it to another volume.
When I try to empty the trash, I am told it can't be removed because it is in use. It is not in use and the computer has even been turned off and it still is "in use".
Is there anyway I can force it to delete, or do a delete that avoids the trash bin?

Thanks, Mary

Did you try holding the Option key while emptying the trash?
