I have a mid-2010 MBP running Mountain Lion. I have an NTFS driver installed so I can write to any NTFS drive like an HFS drive. My problem is that I "accidentally" moved a document folder from my Bootcamp drive to my Mac trash bin. Whenever I try to empty the trash, my Mac shows the "You need to restart your Mac" black screen.

I've located the file, it's not in the Trash directory in my Mac but in Bootcamp, under /Volumes/BOOTCAMP/.Trashes/501. Inside the 501 folder is the folder that I deleted, but when I try to do rm -rf on that file in Terminal, the mac again shows the "You need to restart your Mac."

Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of this file to be able to empty my Trash? If any more information is needed let me know.
