Removing file from trash

[Randrewmul]

I am trying to remove an item from the trash, I receive the message "The operation can’t be completed because the item “Resources” is in use." when I attempt the "Delete Immediately " option. It shows the item still in use but I can't seem to see how considering i have deleted the .app file. I have tried deleting through terminal using the "sudo rm -R " then dragging the file in but this is the message that appears, "
Rosss-MBP-2:~ Ross$ sudo rm -R /Users/Ross/.Trash/uTorrent.app

rm: /Users/Ross/.Trash/uTorrent.app/Contents/Frameworks/Sparkle.framework/Versions/A/Resources/ko.lproj: No such file or directory

I really don't know what to do here and I want this file removed from my Trash!

Log out and back in. If that fails, reboot the computer. Either of those should release any hold on the file.

Just to confirm, have you restarted your machine and then tried to delete it?
I'm assuming you have, but you didn't specifically say that you have

First things I have tried before attempting everything I initially stated. No success.

You can try running lsof with some of the files as inputs. The output will be any process that uses that file

Can you break this down a bit simpler for me please?

In Terminal
The command is:
lsof <Path to File>

With the above input, Terminal will output any processes that use that file.

Alternative uses is
lsof <Process ID>

This variant spits out files used by that process.

Using lsof with the files you can't delete as input, you should get an overview of what processes need to be stopped for the files to be removed
