How can I delete files that are in the trash bin but that are not really there? The files are not locked and are not being used...and they have no size, very strange!!
Does anyone know how to fix this. I also have files in some folders that once I click on them they just dissapair... then they appair again other times. Can't delete them.
 
But if it's really a ghost at work, will UN*X voodoo actually work? ;) ... What I want to say is: Can you tell us a little more about the nature of the files? What are their file names, creation/modification dates, ownership etc.?
 
Some of the files are .fla others are .mp3. Then I have files where I can´t see the extension, one is "Apimac" the other one is "DivX Doctor II" - I even have some folders that I can´t click on, when I do click on them they dissapair, when I restart the coputer they are there again.
I would say that this files just don´t exist, because when I search for them with spotlight they can´t be found. But my question is, why can I still see them in my folders. (the files are in my documents, in applications and other folders, sometimes on the desktop)
This "Ghost files" have no icon, I can only see the name. How do I solve this problem?
