Cannot trash a file? I want to delete a file because it's of no use to me yet I seem unable to do so. I've gone through these steps so far:


Put file in trash, empty trash. -> Mac keeps on telling me: 12 items to remove..
rm -rf /.Trash/* -> process seems to go on indefinitely
sudo rm -R path/to/file -> same as above


I'm desperate.. what should I do?
If you've put the file in your own Trash, you got the path wrong in step 2:

rm -rf ~/.Trash/*


or (because there might be something wrong with the file permissions)

sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
