From: Mike Beattie Date: 19:36 on 30 Oct 2007 Subject: When I said 'Empty Trash', I meant it, you twat. Thanks OS X. For absolutely no reason that I can discern at all, it will not actually empty the trash when I select "Empty Trash" from the Finder menu, or the right click menu of the trashcan itself, or the shift- fuckingabnormaltwirlything-delete hotkey. Now, I realise that they probably all just call the same action, but COME ON. I don't want that cruft filling up my (normally) nice and tidy Trash. Even the cute little bit of crumpled paper annoys me. And while I'm at it, Apple, please put the Trash back on the desktop. Mike (who is a neat freak that has nothing on the desktop except the Finder icon for the computer (what is that called?))

Nope, it appears that in this situation, the Trash was actually empty, but it was some display artifact. "Clicking" the items in the Trash made them disappear. *Sigh*. Mike.
