I wanted to delete time machine backups so what i did was delete them from the TM window. Didnt work, so i went to delete the Backups.backupdb folders. The folders moved to trash, and now i have a problem of emptying my trash.
When i empty the trash, it calculates how many files there are, then proceeds to delete those files. However the process is never ending, as you can see in the screenshot below (items to delete counts down, then when it reaches 0 it counts up in the negative domain)
Ive tried
- option+command+shift+delete
- sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
Didnt work... My "ls -al .Trash/" output shows the folder as empty.
Any solutions to this?
