I have an imovie project in the trash and it won't let me empty it because it says a clip is in use. I don't have anything else for the movie saved and when i drag it out and try to open it, nothing happens. Any ideas?

Hey there,
You might try doing "secure empty trash" or if that doesn't work, restart and try empty trash and secure empty trash again. That always works for me when I have stuff that it tells me is in use.
Also, holding down option while selecting Empty Trash from the Finder menu will force an emptying, ignoring most warnings like that. Most, but not all.

make sure iMovie is closed, other than this you can try the advice posted above.
