I decided I wanted to stop time machine before it backed up my whole computer until I got another external drive for it. When I did this I then tried to delete the file it create (2007-12-02-031121.inProgress), but I can't. Then when I copy it back to desktop it doesn't leave the trash. Basically I know have five of them in the trash and it keeps saying can't delete BootX file. Please help!

Hold down the Option key while you empty the Trash.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!
