    As the title says, when I try to empty the trash i get a -8003 error code.

    Does anybody know what that means? I can't empty my trash because of it.

    Thanks in advance.

    a google search of "error 8003 osx" shows a number of threads that could be related to your issue. You didn't provide enough info to tell which of those threads might be useful.

    You can delete files by using the terminal application and using the rm command. I've had a file or 2 that I couldn't delete when dragged to the trash and the rm command will delete it. In terminal, type 'man rm' and the help file for the rm command will tell you how to use it.
