Can't Erase File - Help

[animal]

For anyone in the same boat, I ended up erasing the Econ files with 
Norten Systemworks Wipe.  I did not install any of the Norten software 
- just ran the program from the CD as some users have reported 
installing Norten can bugger your system.
Thanks for everyone's help

cari:  have you pressed the option key while clicking the empty trash 
command? Yes I tried that thanks.

Kunga:  I'm sure you're right re: System 9.0.4 being buggy, but I have 
software on it that was tough to set up and I'm in the middle of a long 
project.  The econ files are not the system's fault, it's the twits 
that invented the files.  I have another computer with 10.2.3 and find 
the new system limited for audio and incompatible with other software I 
regularly use.  All I use it for is the internet.  The I-Movie, 
I-tunes, I-whatevers are nice but far too basic for my needs.
