Library users are evident throughout the population. 2020-4-5  We’re going to show you how to locate the image files that are contained within the Photos app on Mac OS. This is specific to Photos app, if you don’t use the Photos app to manage pictures on your Mac then your photos will not be stored within the applications package library and instead you’d likely find them through Finder in the generic Pictures folder or elsewhere in Mac OS.

Rating 3.10 (21 Votes)In this Tip's N Tricks article, I want to point out a very important tip for getting around one of Apple's more peculiar security precautions in Mac OS X Lion and Mountain Lion. By default, the User Library folder is hidden in Mac OS 10.7 and above. The user library's location is here: Macintosh HD Users YourUserName LibraryOnly one problem The User Library is hidden From view in the latest versions of the OS. Find application folder on mac. We'll cover a few different methods to easily access this hidden folder.The User Library is home to many 'under the hood' files and folders that correspond to the various Apps and system processes in your computer.

My problem is that frequently the file said to be in use is NOT in use, and the related app is closed. Secure empty trash works in this case. Why does the sys think such files are still in use?

Of course, first make sure that the file is not actually in use by an application.
Perhaps force quitting the Locum process is more elegant, but my solution has always been to open a terminal window and delete the file directly (i.e. type 'rm ' in the terminal window and drag the file in question to the terminal window, then hit return. However, this may leave the Locum process hanging.. I haven't checked.

For me, this problem occurs with any file I mail as an attachment with Mail.app. It's been this way since 10.6.0 and I've filed a bug with Apple (as have many according to the Apple discussion forums) but it's still an issues. Overall, just kind of annoying but I wish they'd fix it!
One more thing: if you have a LOT of items in your trash that take up a lot of disk space, it's best to use a regular 'empty trash' first and tell it to continue when you get the error about not being able to remove certain items. Then follow up with the secure-empty trash. Otherwise it can take a long time to securely erase all those files.

My solution to Mail attachments that cannot be deleted from the Trash is simply to quit and relaunch the Mail app. Takes 2-3 seconds and works every time.

Will doing this invoke the secure delete bug where the temporary file is left in place and forgotten? (thus taking up disk space forever/manually deleted)

if you know the file that can't be trashed is harmless, just

handle with care, though.

That is quite useful, thanks.
Something interesting about that: After mailing an attachment, then trashing the document I had attached, I got the expected file in use error. So I tried the lsof grep -i busy command you pointed out and came up with nothing. Very peculiar this mail attachment bug..

If Shift + Option + Command + Delete won't empty everything I Option click the Finder App in the Dock and choose Relaunch.

Slightly off topic, but I feel compelled to point out what I think is bad advice in general. I've been using unix since the late 70's. I'm reasonably savvy with unix, yet I almost never use rm * to delete files. The only time I ever do this is after I double and triple check that I'm in the right directory and I list the files that I'm about to nuke as an alternate check that the destruction I am about to wreak is the destruction I intend. I would never recommend the use of this command to anyone because I can never be sure that they are as careful as I am.

In the case of this example, it's like using a chainsaw to remove a wart. It's simply not necessary. All you have to do is open a terminal window and type rm followed by a space, open your trash and drag the file you want to remove to the terminal window, then hit return. It's easy. It's safe. It's effective. It's actually quicker than doing the cd to your Trash folder in the terminal.

Sorry, climbing down from my soapbox now.

I always add the -i flag ('interactive') when issuing rm -rfi so the system asks before deleting every file.

I found that the main reason in my use was the calculation of thumbnails (e.g. Flip4Mac calculating a thumbnail for a large WMV file in the trash).
Not looking at the trash but using the 'Empty Trash' context menu on the Dock prevents most occurrences for me.

hello,
very annoying this, BUT i found a good working solution here:
http://thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html
Force the Trash to empty using the Option key
This technique uses a hidden feature of Mac OS X to force the Trash to empty. Perform the following steps in the order specified:
Press and hold the mouse button on the Trash icon in the Dock. The context menu for Trash will display.
Press and hold the Option key or the Shift-Option keyboard combination,
Select Empty Trash from the context menu for Trash.
Release the keys pressed and held in step 2.
it actually works (mac osx lion)
good luck

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I was trying to take the advice posted here, and entered cd
~/.Trash
rm -r *
as two separate lines..now everything in my documents, downloads, desktop, and some other things are gone. Is there any way to undo this!? I'm freaking out, I have some important stuff that is not backed up (stupid, I know).

There is another minor caveat with the rm-based alternative. If you rm a file while it is in actual use, you will most likely not get the disk space back until that file is released by whatever is holding an open file descriptor to it. The file will disappear from the Trash and directory listings, so if you just like to see an empty Trash icon, then ok. If you actually want the disk space marked as free for other uses, this is usually not enough.
For large files, more comprehensive (though time consuming) solution is to use lsof grep <filename> to check what process is holding the file open, and then killing that process. This way you can use empty trash from the GUI and guarantee yourself the disk space back.
