| 1) Connect the external drive.
2) Drag the locked file out of the trash and back onto the external drive.
3) Do a "Get Info" on the file (highlight the file and press command-i)
4) Uncheck the "Locked" checkbox in the Get Info window.
5) Put the file back in the trash
6) Empty trash.
That should work. You may even be able to do a "Get Info" on the file while it's still in the trash and unlock it that way, as well.
