Thanks for sharing this, Steven. This happens to be among the tips
for trashing 'untrashable' files in Randy B. Singer's terrific
troubleshooting guide for Mac OS X problems:
"How To Deal With Common OS X 10.2 Jaguar Problems"
http://www.macattorney.com/tutorial.html
Highly recommended as an initial Mac OS X troubleshooting resource.
(Note that many of Singer's troubleshooting suggestions also happen
to be pertinent to Mac OS X 10.1.)
In addition, Singer's guide includes links to other helpful OS X
resources. For those still using the Classic Mac OS, he also
spotlights Tom Calvert's page which offers links to a plethora of Mac
OS 7/8/9 troubleshooting guides, albeit with minimalist organization
and annotation of same:
