Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Can’t empty trash completely after uninstall PP beta

  • Can’t empty trash completely after uninstall PP beta

    Posted by Mark Grance on October 3, 2024 at 6:19 pm

    I uninstalled Premiere Pro Beta, but I can’t complete empty trash on Mac Studio running Sonoma.

    I get “The operation can’t be completed because the item “_EveScripts” is in use.” error.

    I have checked permissions. Tried delete immediately, started in recovery mode to turn off SIP. It won’t delete.

    Upgrading to Sequoia might fix your problem.

    I had that issue but it works fine after updating.

    I had thought about that, but in the middle of too many projects to take that gamble.

    (obviously not completely emptying trash is not a huge thing)

    Finally got a chance to upgrade(?) to Sequoia and it did not fix the problem. So bizarre. I have started in recovery mode and deleted the .Trash directory to no avail. When I start up, the trash is empty and then a few seconds later the folder(s) are back. I think it originally was a container.

    I will just live with it and get back to work. But eventually I need to fix it.

    You have an errant script or app running.

    Have you tried login as an Admin with access to that user?

    Or try a safe mode.

    There are utilities out there that can help.

    Check the Activity Monitor in Utilities if there is something ghost like in the background.

    Tried those suggestions to no avail. Lots of processes in Activity monitor. None really match. Will try to narrow it down.
