- Simple question.
-
- What do I do to delete a 'file' that when I try to trash it it says 'You
- cannot move file yyy to the "Wastebasket" as it cannot be found'.
-
- A get similar errors when I try to move the files to another folder, do
- a get info or delete it using Apple File Exchange (a last ditch
- attempt).
-
- I can't option-drag (or option-trash as it never gets in the bin).
- Rebuilding the desktop, switching on with extensions off, booting from a
- floppy, using Norton Wipe Info, all do not work. In fact the files have
- been created by a run of Norton.
-
- Oh, I do not want to back-up a reformat my hard disk, as I seem to have
- not got my free tape-backup drive which obviously comes with every copy
- of system 7. (If it's a good joke once it's always a good joke....).
-
- Thanks for any help people!
