All Locked Up!

[ddk121]

I downloaded an application for Mac, but found it no use, so i moved it to the trash. But i cannot delete certain files from the application because they are 'locked'. How do I delete them?

Hold 'Option' and Empty Trash.

For future reference: To lock/unlock files Get Info on them and in the General section is a checkbox.

Yeah, OS X doesn't handle deleting locked files as gracefully as it could. I think a much more graceful approach would be to pop up a dialog that says "Some of the files you are about to delete are locked, are you sure you want to proceed? Yes / No" But until I become emperor of the universe and institute that system, the way to do it is like GimmeSlack12 explained.
