From: Tim Collier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I'm going to be very bold and ask a question that I needed an answer for last night buy *of course* couldn't find where I had stored the file with the answer. I see you know your unix commands, I had some files in the trash that refused to empty in the normal manner, what is the command line for deleting items from the trash? I know that this has been covered again and again, please humor me.
I'm answering on behalf of those who DON'T want to use the Terminal/ UNIX commands to get this job done.
If by chance (in OS X) you have some files that refuse to leave the Trash, download the free program BatCHMod from macupdate.com or versiontracker.com.
When you open BatCHMod, you get a small window. Ignore this, and go to the file menu. There's a "Force Empty Trash" command right there, and it works every time.
