= SYMPTOMS =

When you attempt to empty the trash with the Works Calendar file in the trash can, the following message is displayed:

The item Works Calendar could not be deleted because it contains items that are in use.

= RESOLUTION =

Restart with the extensions off by choosing restart from the Special menu and then holding down the SHIFT key while restarting.

-or-


 * 1) From the Tool menu in Works, choose Preferences.
 * 2) Choose Calendar.
 * 3) Choose Change Calendar.
 * 4) Create a new calendar.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Even when Works is not actually running, it maintains a link to the Calendar file so that it is able to show reminders for appointments. Because this is done using an extension, the error may be avoided by restarting with extensions off or by creating a new calendar.
