Mac OSX (Snow Leopard) Trash Permissions Issue

“This item will be deleted immediately”

Thanks to Nate Cinal (Core Training and Consulting), we were recently able to help one of our clients with a trash deleting issue in Mac OSX Snow Leopard.

The Issue

When deleting an item from the desktop, or any user folder, (either by dragging the item to the trash in the dock, or via the key command ⌘ + delete) the Finder would proclaim “Are you sure you want to delete (the file name here)” “This item will be deleted immediately, you can’t undo this action.”
