Home Forums Mac Software Mac Operating Systems Why does Trash work differently?

Depends on the "thing". If this is an application, although it looks like one entity, it may contain many files, as Donikatz rightly pointed out. For instance, if you update a program, it may contain numerous files. In SL, as I mentioned earlier, the option "empty trash" was removed. With that command, you just did not see how many items were deleted. In SL, there is only "secure empty trash" left, and this option is counting the number of deleted files. It is rather slow and one can see the progress and the number of files left.
