Shooter Veteran Mar 4, 2008 #1 I have some P2 folders in my Trash bin (amongst other junk). I can not empty any of the Trash because of the locked P2 files. Seems most of the P2 contents are locked files and it would be a major to manually unlock all of them (1124 files)

jcoxshooter Well-known member Mar 4, 2008 #3 try holding down the option and apple key while you empty the trash.
Shooter Veteran Mar 6, 2008 #5 I tried the options and none worked - thanx anyway. Other searches revealed this can be a Mac issue. (Google "locked mac files") I then found by accident I could open Inspector and when I multiple selected files I could unlock them as a group. As soon as this was done I could trash them. Bit painful but atleast not clip by clip.

D dirtysanchez Member Mar 6, 2008 #6 All you have to do is hold down the option key and then select "Empty Trash" from the finder menu. You can then delete locked files.
