This transpired when I connected an outside drive to my MacBook Pro and it contained a lot of bygone era Machine Backups. I sent them to the Trash however then I was unable to purge them from the waste for reasons unknown.
I found an answer for this issue and needed to share it.

This really applies to any document that you can't move, open, change or duplicate in Mac OS X. Record sin the garbage may become bolted keeping you from for all time erasing them.
In case you're attempting to cancel a record, right-snap or Control+click on the document and select Get Info.

One of the choices offers to dispose of all the opened substance. Select it and afterward open the Trash to perceive what's left. You will probably observe the bolted envelope or organizers.
To dispose of the organizer or envelopes, open a Terminal window. I locate the most straightforward path is to press Command+Space to open Spotlight Search box. Type Terminal and hit Enter.
With terminal open, type the accompanying without hitting the Enter key. Recall to NOT hit the Enter key in the wake of composing the accompanying line into Terminal:
sudo chflags -R nouchg
Ensure the above line has a space after the keep going 'g' and afterward open your Trash organizer. Drag the culpable organizer into the Terminal toward the stopping point after the space after the 'g' and Terminal will naturally enter the content expected to distinguish envelope's area.
