[@erinschillinger7287]

I AM NOT A TECH PERSON AT ALL AND THIS TOTALLY JUST WORKED.

[@InternationalHusler]

IT doesn't work if you have a file thats 1GB in size and you delete it using this method then go into mac storage the 1GB will still be there.

[@Erfone]

EVERYONE this is amazing i never write comments but this worked, thanks

[@STALKR1]

I literally renamed it and changed it back accidentally and then when I tried to delete it it worked so XD. Nice home screen!

[@thomasredcrest957]

THANK YOU! I was having troubles with deleting old PPT files for a long time, and it's been bugging me for a while! Once again, thank you for your help!

[@eedom69]

My error says: "The item “Font Book” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted."

[@Ragsboyieee]

Font book comes pre installed with Mac therefore you can’t delete.

[@eedom69]

@@Ragsboyieee You can. I did. I downloaded some app and took it out.

[@rnr45s]

I thought this was going to be a meme of a helicopter destroying a building labelled as "file" because of the thumbnail... wow, I'm a dumbass.

[@IraqiSniper]

thanks buddy , I did as the video says 3 times and did not work and after that I tried the following : do the process again 3 times and after that I renamed the file again with another words and delete it , it gone , thanks
