I got this thing in the trash and I am trying to get rid of it but it says it is in use. The file inside the trash is called "SIMBL.bundle" and I am not sure what application is using it or what is using it so I can quit that application and empy my trash...

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I ran into simbl as a plug-in for cocoa development languages, but it was a long time ago. Check out this site:

'SIMBL (Smart InputManager Bundle Loader) allows you to build hacks for Cocoa applications and apply the code selectively based on an application's unique identifier. It's not really all that smart, or even clever, but it's smarter than just blindly loading code into an application'. From: SIMBL

So, did you recently install something like a plugin? If so you may need to quit the app with the plugin in order to get rid of this file.

...or, force empty the trash from your CLI: rm -fr ~/.Trash/*

Reboot, log in and out or restart the finder. Start with force restarting the Finder. Then empty the trash.
