Open Message App.  Swipe from right to left to either hide or delete the message

The same thing happens to me from time to time. One of the ways that I “fixed” it, was to delete an app that I wasn’t really using then delete the update again. That shouldn’t be necessary but it worked. Usually, I just keep trying and trying eventually it will delete. I don’t quit settings until I finally get it to work.

You could try a forced restart and then see if it will delete as it should, but once again, that should not be necessary. To force restart your device, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

If I want to export an album to a USB stick for a friend, can I do that from Photos?

Yes, select all photos in the album, then use the command "File > Export > Export ... photos".

In the panel that will open click the "v" to the right of "Photo Kind" to reveal the controls for the size and quality.

Usually the quality "Large" will suffice, but you will probably save the photos with "Size > Full Size".

Now click "Export" and select a folder on your USB stick. Do not write to the top level of the stick, create first a folder.

I wouldn't mess with files in the System folder. I'd leave the file alone and let Malwarebytes do the work.

MegaBackup uninstall - Open your Applications folder, find the icon and drag it to the Trash. It will request your user name and password. Empty the trash. Restart the computer.

Thank you so much Saltgrass, I will follow your directions & see what happens for me.

You are using the new X Phone while I am using 6Plus that might make a difference but we’ll see.

Have a good day & weekend !!!

Please read Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac - Apple Support and then restart in Safe Mode and try to delete the files. Once done, then restart normally.

You have allowed the drive to become filled to the point where there is no free space left resulting in the drive becoming corrupted. You cannot put files in the Trash nor Empty the Trash. You cannot copy and paste or move files. The disk directory is corrupted beyond repair. You cannot back up either. You must do this:

Install El Capitan or Later from Scratch

     If possible backup your files.

1. Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime hold down the Command and R keys until the Apple logo appears. When the Utility Menu appears:
2. Select Disk Utility from the Utility Menu and click on Continue button.
3. When Disk Utility loads select the volume (indented entry, usually Macintosh HD) from the Device list.
4. Click on the Erase icon in Disk Utility's main window. A panel will drop down.
5. Set the Format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)
6. Click on the Apply button, then wait for the Done button to activate and click on it.
7. Quit Disk Utility and return to the Utility Menu.
8. Select Install OS X and click on the Continue button.

This will install the version of OS X you had installed.

I have just done an experiment and I see the same behaviour. The "Missing value" test in the script never fires, because the old value is returned even when it has been deleted.

If you modify the script to replace rather than append the new text, it works. Perhaps you could work around this by selecting only images where you want to append text, and using the standard script; then selecting only images where you want to replace the text, and using a modified script, where the line

set the description to (old_desc & input as text)

is replaced by

set the description to (input as text)

You could also delete the missing value test, and change the prompt to be clearer, but this minimal change would do the replacement.
