Trash Problem 10.6.2

[midijeep]

Now when I drag things to the trash a message comes up telling me if I want to delete the file(s), they will be permentantly delete. I don't no what happened but I used to be able to drag the file into the trash and empty the trash whenever I wanted.
Anyone no how to fix this?

TIA

That normally happens when you try to trash an item on a network volume. Are you saying it's happening no matter where the file resides?

Problem solved.

Open the Terminal in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following:
mkdir ~/.Trash

If you get a message stating that the folder exists, run the following:
sudo chown $UID ~/.Trash
Type in password and hit return, then type this command in terminal:
chmod u+rwx ~/.Trash

Exit out of terminal.
