Manually Empty the Items in the Network Trash Folder
By: Richard Glaser - Revised: 2006-06-22 devinTo manually empty the items from the "Network Trash Folder" on each of the sharepoints:
On the file server use a resource editor. to make it visible using Get File/Folder info, then delete its contents.
There are many resource editors that can do the job (i.e. ResEdit [link dead], Resorcerer [link dead],
File Buddy,
FileTyper, etc.), but for the example here we will use ResEdit.
