Note: This document applies to Mac OS X versions 10.2.8 and earlier.
Some Classic applications may save files to an incorrect Trash location. Choose steps according to how you have software installed on your computer.
Single volume installation
If Mac OS X and the Classic (Mac OS 9) System Folder are on the
same hard disk volume (this is default configuration), follow these steps:
1. Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
2. Choose Go To Folder from the Go menu.
3. Type: /Trash
4. Press Return.
5. Select all files in the window. (If this folder is empty, there are no files to delete.)
6. Drag the files to the Trash.
7. Choose Empty Trash from the Finder menu.
Multiple volume installation
If Mac OS X and the Classic (Mac OS 9) System Folder are on
different hard disk volumes (two partitions, for example), follow these steps:
1. Click the Finder icon in the Dock.
2. Choose Go To Folder from the Go menu.
3. Type: /Volumes/<Mac_OS_9_volume_name>/Trash
Note: You would replace "<Mac_OS_9_volume_name>" with the actual name of the volume on which your Mac OS 9 System Folder is installed. If it was installed on a disk partition named "Blue", then you would type:
/Volumes/Blue/Trash
Mac OS X may automatically complete the volume's name as you type.
4. Press Return.
5. Select all files in the window. (If this folder is empty, there are no files to delete.)
6. Drag the files to the Trash.
7. Choose Empty Trash from the Finder menu.
