The trash remains full after i emptyed the trash and when i open the trash, all the files are still there and won't gone until i click them one by one, i don't know how did that happen, maybe because i intalled the Boot camp and Vista too?
my OS is newly reinstalled.
thanks for viewing

Restart and try to empty the trash when you get back on.

Hi there,
Good advice from Randman - but maybe you should try the following, click on the link below and download something called Force Empty Trash - a very handy little app.

Perhaps try to click 'secure empty trash' - I know that if I cant emty trash because an app is somehow using the file ( the app has been closed for a while) that this option tends to work.
