For those of you using lion, just type in rm -rf ~/.Trash/* in the terminal, that should empty your bin.

Incredible!
I've been trying to empty the trash for days now without avail, even the usual restart then empty did not work on this one, and none of the other methods work.

I ran this script once and splendor! the trash is empty.

this is a very good tool.

Yeh this program is decent, iv been trying to get rid of a file in my trash for ages and this done it straight away. Small and easy to use with a click of a button.

Works fine :-)

With Panther you can also choose "secure empty trash" (Finder-> Secure Empty Trash) and it will empty your trash even if the file is in use.

Haha, you're right. I just tried that.

No, sorry, I was wrong.

Mr.Cotton had trouble on 16 Sep 2009

When I run the program, I get the following error message:

rm: /Users/rich/.Trash*: No such file or directory.

How to I move the .Trash directory to user "Rich"? That should fix the error...right?
