Features and benefits of FEmp:
Features and benefits of FEmp:
- Simple program, shouldn't have any bugs
- It uses a cleaner password prompt, I thought the OS prompt is too much.
- If you enter the incorrect password, it shows the default OS password prompt.

Only pity is the voice-over that tell you what it has done. Nice the first few times but completely rubbish.

- open a Terminal window;
- type "sudo srm -fmrz .Trash/*" without quotes and press ENTER;
- if you wish to see what that command is doing, simply type "sudo srm -fmrvz .Trash/*" (again without quotes) instead of "sudo srm -fmrz .Trash/*".
That's all.

set myhomepath to (POSIX path of (path to home folder))
do shell script "sudo srm -fmrz" & space & myhomepath & ".Trash/*" with administrator privileges
Save it as an application. When you launch the application, you'll be prompted to enter an administrator name and password. After you do that and click OK, the trash will be force-emptied.

@Acuraice: That's Secure Empty Trash. Please check things before, not only being rude, but making yourself look like an idiot. For the name Acuraice, you're not very accurate.
@Laine: Thanks, but there are many people who don't even know what ASE is and how to do what you ask of them. All I want to do is make things easier for people. Thanks, anyway. I honestly appreciate it.

@ Laine: Now that's a neat one. this now resides on my Desktop. Even a Terminal-guy like me appreciates what you've done.
