Trash won't stop trying to empty

Hey there folks.

Anyone have this problem? I click empty trash bin and it does.... but it just.... keeps... trying... It never stops unless I stop it manually.

Try restarting the computer in the Safe Mode. That often fixes things. Hold down the Shift key on restart. Be patient as this can take some time to load while the OS is doing its repairs and clearing its caches. Then restart normally and see what happens.
