    When emptying the trash it can take many hours. An individual item may take 20 minutes. None of the files are locked.

    Any idea what the issue is?

    Thanks.

    Hmmm, have you enabled the secure delete option by any chance?

    Yes, I think I have.
    What does that mean and how do I disable?

    Many thanks
