I have a file in my Trash. The filename is 'codedesign' and it is a Unix executable file. This file ended up there in the process of me trying to fix a corrupted patch installer. The original version is still in my /usr/bin/ directory and therefore this one would be fine to delete.
The situation looks like this, the file is the only thing that is in my Trash. When I click empty trash it doesn't show an error message, but it doesn't delete the file. When I right click the file and select 'Delete Immediately...' it asks me for my password then comes up with the error message 'The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.'
The file permissions say that my user has 'Read & Write' while the Wheel user has 'Read'. I can't change any permissions without getting an error message saying that I don't have permission to make changes.
I can't put the file back as this option isn't available when I right click. When I try and drag the file out of the trash it simply makes a copy.
I've tried using the app Trash It! as well as CleanMyMac3 But these do nothing.
The results of the following terminal commands used so far:
$ sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*
rm: /Users/JamieMacLeod/.Trash/codesign: Operation not permitted
$ ls -ald ~/.Trash/*
-rwxr-x--x@ 1 JamieMacLeod wheel 86032 31 Oct 2014 /Users/JamieMacLeod/.Trash/codesign
$ xattr -l /Users/JamieMacLeod/.Trash/codesign

I'm really not sure what to do that this point, surely there is a way to delete one file? I am the only user on this computer and therefore should have full admin rights.
Any help with this would be very much appreciated.
