Comment on Deleting individual and groups of files from the Mac trash Bin by Steve

You will first need to know the name of the file you want to delete, lets say it’s called photo.jpg.
Then, using the command, find /Users/USER_NAME/.Trash/ -name “filename.ext” -delete you need to change the USER_NAME part to your mac username and the filename.ext to the actual file name, photo.jpg.
Lets say the username is Steve, so we now have the command find /Users/Steve/.Trash/ -name “photo.jpg” -delete
Pop that in to terminal and hit enter. The file photo.jpg will be removed from the Trash bin.

Hope that helps

Hey

Thanks for noticing this. There is a double hyphen there but only shows as one on the page…odd.

Fixed it by using the html for the hyphen, –

I will be posting some other commands soon. I have just been using “history” which is saving a lot of time.

Your website looks good too

I noticed an error in the tarball syntax above. It should be;

tar -xzpvf mytarfile.tgz –exclude=”._*”

DOUBLE DASH before the word “exclude”…

Thanks for the post though it was most helpful!!!

Just blowing some time on Stumbleupon and I found your entry. Not normally what I like to learn about, but it was certainly worth my time. Thanks.
