Dear To Whom It May Concern,

Given the drop of Windows Media Player for Mac OS X by Microsoft, I
went ahead and trashed Windows Media Player for Mac OS X. Soon after I
read about Flip4Mac and installed Flip4Mac. I also installed again
Windows Media Player for Mac OS X, I am unable to trash or secure trash
the first copy of Windows Media Player for Mac OS X. What am I doing
wrong? and what can I do to fix the problem of not being able to secure
trash first copy of Windows Media Player for Mac OS X?

God Bless America; with hope and God speed,
Roy Mitsuoka

It's in the FAQ:
press down the alt key and as you hold it down, select Empty the trash
from the Trash icon in the Dock.

Thank You so very much Corentin!!!!

I was dealing with this for days and hours, the tip of holding down the Alt
key should be spread out...

cheers

I'm glad it did the trick for you :-)

The Alt-key trick is actually in the WMP FAQ:

I guess it's the "tip" about the FAQ that should be spread out :-\
