I hope this isn't a double post, but I didn't see anything when I searched. Hopefully someone can answer or point me in the right direction...



I had a few folders and files on my desktop. When I try to delete them I am prompted for my password, when entered my password is accepted I hear a click but the file is not moved to the trash.



Based on threads here I have read:

- If I drag it to a different location it will copy. After copying I still cannot delete.

- If I open the file information my account is listed as having read-write permissions and my account is listed as an admin account in settings.

- I did a repair permissions and restarted. Then I repaired and restarted again. Then I verified and repaired my disk. Then I restarted again.

- I did NOT open terminal and try any commands. Those posts went right over my head and scare me a little.



Anyt houghts?



Thanks.
