Delete locked files OSX El Capitan
Delete locked files OSX El Capitan
Seems our lil captain decided to change some bits that usually were easier to do, before.
Deleting locked files in any of Apple OSs has been quite fun, meaning it wasnt easy to do.
From checking file permissions and modifying them (very old OSs) to pressing the right shortcut while accusing the trash bin, which IMHO, that was the easiest.
Well apparently they updated the process (or at least I havent found a better one), no shortcuts and of course I didnt even try the permissions path... waste of time even if it works.
So open your trash bin, select the locked file you got a warning for, right-click on it and voila... youll get the alternate menu:
Find the "Delete Immediately..." option, and click it.
It will prompt just a confirmation message, accept it and ready... file gone.
"That easy"
Still dont get why shall I have to open the damn trash bin, find, select, click, click, accept, for each locked file (or folder, also tested it), but thats Apples logic now.
So go ahead, start deleting the shaizen out of your bin, just remember to be careful, whats gone... its gone (not really, but thats for another post) ;)
