Mac 911 Tip of the Week

Mac 911 Tip of the Week A reader who wishes to remain nameless seeks a little iPhoto spring cleaning. Nameless-to-you writes: "There are 474 items in iPhoto's trash. I've been trying to empty that trash and it just won't. Do you have any suggestions for me in completing this task?"

iPhoto has a trash separate from the Finder's trash. When you delete images in iPhoto, they go into this separate trash and they're not deleted from your Mac until you expressly tell iPhoto to empty the trash. You do this by Control (right) clicking on iPhoto's Trash icon and choosing Empty Trash from the contextual menu.

If you've tried that with no satisfactory results it's possible that you've hit a fairly common snag. I'll explain how to get unstuck in the Mac 911 blog. - Christopher Breen
