Quit any app that you were using with the file, then empty the Trash. If that doesn't work, the app might have one or more background processes that are using the file. Restart your Mac, then empty the Trash. If that doesn't work, you might have a startup item or login item that is using the file. To delete a file using this method, first open up the Terminal, located in the Applications/Utilities folder. Type in 'rm -f ' without the quotation marks, and with the space after the f. Then find the file that wont delete, and drag it to the Terminal window, and the path to that item should appear.

I have several old servers listed in my Favorite Servers List in MacOS Catalina. This is old hardware that I no longer own. I have deleted the servers from the list many time but they keep coming back. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them?
While having old servers in your favorites list does not have any negative impact on your Mac’s performance, we understand that having them there is annoying and just makes it harder to find the servers that you really want.
Normally, all you have to do is select the server in the Favorite Servers list, click the “-” sign and the server is deleted. Sometimes, no matter how many times you delete the server, it remains in the list the next time you try to connect to a server.
We’re not sure why some servers get stuck in the list and others don’t but fortunately, this is a pretty easy problem to fix.
Take a look at this video for step-by-step instructions on how to remove stubborn servers listed in the Favorite Server window in macOS.
For those of you who prefer written instructions, keep reading.
Your Favorite Servers list is stored in your User Library in a folder called “Favorites”.
For some reason, these entries sometimes get “stuck” in that folder. Here are the steps to remove them.
After you have deleted the servers from the Favorites folder, you will see that they are still listed in your Favorite Servers list. That’s because they repopulated before you removed them from the Favorites folder. Go back to your server window and delete them one more time. Now they should be gone for good.
