Can not delete "ghost" image files on Macbook desktop
I tried to move a rather large selection of images from iPhoto over to my desktop to then move them again... I now have about 60 images on my desktop but can not delete/remove/move/trash them... When I check the "Get info" I see they have 0bytes (see files attached) and have an unrealistic date as well. I can see I have read & write permission on all these files but can not remove them from my desktop. Can someone tell me how to safely remove these images from my desktop ? PS: I still need the originals but I can still see those in iPhoto so I guess they are safe there.

The term "Backup" means the methods and processes involved to copy computer data (system data as well as application data) to media other than the ones where the data originally live (disk, tape, optical, cloud). "Restore" in turn means the methods and processes involved in data recovery, i. e., bringing back copied computer data to their original location. Backup/Restore primarily serves as a means of protection against data loss, be it due to disaster, corruption or sabotage. It can also be used for recovering data from an earlier point in time and even for cloning machines or applications. There is a wide variety of backup/restore software available, from expensive commercial products to free or open source tools.
