Several users have reported an issue in which files cannot be deleted from the Trash. Sometimes users may intentionally move files to the trash and then perform some operation that inadvertently renders them inaccessible, and other times, rogue files may just appear in the trash. MacFixIt has covered some of these situations in the past, in which files appeared due to problems in Windows Boot Camp partitions, or bizarre permissions problems prevented deletion. In addition to these situations, there may be problems with file name structure that prevents OS X from properly accessing them.
