Random File in Trash

[xadmz]

This just started happening recently that theres a random file always in my trash that I cant get rid of and the only way to temporarily get rid of it is to right click>get info then it disappears. the file is 0kb and the name is something like this: ///o//.// If anyone can help me with this id appreciate it.

Hold down the option key when you empty the trash and see if it comes back.

You are running Windows on your computer, right I have the same problem and can't get rid of it. Way to go Microsoft...

try entering this command into Terminal which is in the Utilities folder.

rm -r .Trash; killall Finder

this deletes the invisible Trash folder that files go to when they are sent to the trash and then relaunches Finder which creates a new Trash folder.
