I found a program called cocktail that has an option to erase files. That may help.

Dale,
I'm joining this thread late. Did you try the standard key command for force empty trash:

Hold down Option key then click on "Empty Trash"
Cheers,
John

Have you tried to empty the trash securely?  This will often delete
files that won't delete when normally emptying the trash.

Hi Andrew,

Yes, I tried that, with the same results.

Thanks for the suggestion.
