Hello,

 

I am for a reason not able to empty my trash bin on my MacBook Air M2 2022. When I am trying to do it says that something is in use and I have no idea what or how to stop that.

 

I can include a screenshot if needed, but my display language is Dutch so that might not be helpful.

1) Did you try restarting your Mac & then try again to empty it?

2) What is the EXACT wording of the error message or error code? (A screenshot would be helpful)

Thanks

Hello MoxieMomma,

 

1) Yes I tried, didn't help.
2) I wanted to share a screenshot, but somehow it worked now.

 

Not sure what you did, but thank you!
