I am unable to empty trash with any of the commands for emptying trash. I compacted folders, didn't help. Used right click, didn't work. How can I empty trash?

Hi judybustamante,

Firefox is a web browser. It displays the content of existing sites. Things like email or page contents come from the content provider. Are you trying to empty your email trash? Who is your email provider? You'll probably have better luck consulting their help documentation.

If you are trying to empty the trash for your computer, I would consult the document for your operating system.

Hopefully this helps!
