Delete locked files OSX El Capitan.

Seems our lil captain decided to change some bits that usually were easier to do, before.

Deleting locked files in any of Apple OS's has been quite fun, meaning it wasn't easy to do.
From checking file permissions and modifying them (very old OS's) to pressing the right shortcut while accusing the trash bin, which IMHO, that was the easiest.

Well apparently they updated the process (or at least I haven't found a better one), no shortcuts and of course I didn't even try the permissions path... waste of time even if it works.

So open your trash bin, select the locked file you got a warning for, right-click on it and voila... you'll get the alternate menu:


Find the "Delete Immediately..." option, and click it.
It will prompt just a confirmation message, accept it and ready... file gone.
"That easy"

Still don't get why shall I have to open the damn trash bin, find, select, click, click, accept, for each locked file (or folder, also tested it), but thats Apple's logic now.

So go ahead, start deleting the shaizen out of your bin, just remember to be careful, what's gone... it's gone (not really, but thats for another post) ;)
