Force Delete

[Nyan]

I've got some sit. files & stuff on my desktop that won't delete. It keeps saying that they're in use by another function, like copying, moving or emptying trash. Problem is, they're not!!!

I've restarted, relaunched finder, unhooked the internet....

Is there a way to force them to delete, then force the trash to empty...?

if you have stuff in the trash that won't empty, open terminal and type:

rm -r .Trash/

[enter]
