I think this question has been posted and answered here before, but I was
snoozing.  I have a folder that cannot be discarded.  When I try to empty
the trash, I get the message: "The trash could not be emptied (a file was
busy or a folder was not empty)."  Choosing "Get Info..." from the finder
shows that the folder contains 0 bytes, but DiskInfo tells me it contains
-1 files.

What gives, and how do I get rid of this puppy?
