Mac OS X – Files won’t go in the Trash
Most likely your Trash folder is not owned by you anymore. To fix:
- Open Terminal.app, and type in the next 3 commands:
- sudo chown <your_user_name>:staff ~/.Trash
- sudo chmod 700 ~/.Trash
- killall Finder

Ok, perhaps these steps are really not needed. Try a “killall Finder” first before you do anything, and see if it fixes it.
