Ok Lindsey I think if your definately sure you want to bin everything in there and there is a LOT of stuff in there its time to get down and dirty and pry under the bonnet of OS X into the Unix environment.
The best Tutorial on how to do this ive found is at the following location... http://www.osxfaq.com/Tutorials/LearningCenter/HowTo/Trash/index.ws It goes through various scenarios that may be stopping you emptying your Trashcan, and gives lots of different ways to tackle the problem. If your course of action DOES take you into the terminal and into UNIX I advise you to read, re-read and then read again the intructions to make sure you fully understand what you are doing and what might happen if you get it wrong. The amount of stuff thats in your trashcan (and I know how much design stuff you can get through in a short time, I just archived 3 months work onto 9 DVDs) would make it a very time consuming task going through checking for immutables and locked files so you may just have to go straight for using the very destructive tools in the terminal. I might have put you off delving into UNIX, but if you take it slow, UNIX can make some very complex head banging against the wall problems very simple to resolve. Hope this info helps you.
