Is it possible to interrupt or cancel the trash-delete process?
- by pete
I am connected to the company server, onsite not remote, which is Windows based. When, in the OS finder, I go to delete a file or directory that resides on the window-based server, the trash progress panel appears as usual. Not infrequently it will just hang there appearing to be active but no progress occurs on the progress bar. So the X is chosen to stop or cancel the process. A new panel appears, and while appearing to be active, again, just hangs there indefinitely.
My lack of reputation prevents posting a screen shot - sorry.
The question then is this:
Is there a way via the Activity Monitor, Terminal, etc. to interrupt this deleting process in the Mac OS? Currently, I have to force shutdown and reboot to eradicate the ever-deleting panel.
Finder relaunch does not solve and only eliminates the finder until I force reboot.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Pete
