Hello,
I can't manage to place unlocked files in the trash... I've already read the discussions on this topic in the forums and I always get the same message
"Cannot open the item « .Trash » for now because it is being used by another task, such as copying or moving an item, or emptying the trash. Please try again once the task is completed."
Is there a solution?
Thank you for your help

Configuration: Mac OS X Lion (10.7) / Firefox 45.0

    Hello,

    Two solutions, you either restart your Mac or go to the Apple menu/Force Quit and choose what is stuck (not responding) + click on "Force Quit", then you should be able to access the trash, but you're not very clear in your explanations.
