When we move the file from our Mac to the recycling bin. Once we are there, and as long as we are confident that we will no longer need it, we can pour out the trash. Sometimes there are files that refuse to disappear in the trash. In those cases our best friend is Signal he will take care of them.
There are two important situations where it will be useful for us to get rid of garbage forcibly. The first is when we have moved a large number of files to it and expect that the removal can take a few minutes. The second is where the files are they live in the trash even after we take it out. In many cases the simple restart of the Mac can fix the situation, but sometimes it is necessary to be strong.
How to prevent it from dumping trash from our Mac
- We open the app Signal. We can use Spotlight (Command (⌘) + Spacebar) to search it.
- We write or copy the following command, without quotes: "sudo rm -rf"
- After "f" we write the space.
- We open the trash.
- We press Command (⌘) + A to select all elements.
- We drag all the items into the Term window.
- Press Enter (↩︎).
- We write the password for our Mac (though we don't recognize it when we write it).
- Press Enter (↩︎).
OK The files will disappear. Without a doubt, the power of the end and the value of its objects are beyond impressive.
There will be a few times when we have to enforce our waste, but if necessary we will know how to deal with it.
