Can't Delete Files

Using a Mac.

I've created a blog for a demo learning Ruby on Rails. I'm trying to delete the files to the blog I created but there are some files remaining that won't delete.

I keep getting an error saying that "development.sqlite3" is in use. I don't what is using this file, how to find it, and how to quit it.

Thanks for your help.

You've probably got a ruby process running somewhere. Launch Activity Monitor, find a ruby process, and kill it. (Presumably this is the only Ruby program you have running on your machine, but double check.)

Restarting the computer works most of the times. If it doesn't you can try to hold "alt" key when you empty the trash can if the files are already there.

Alternatively you can use the terminal

sudo rm -rf yourFileName
