Simple AppleScript applet that will empty the Trash with administrator privileges. In order to do that the user has to be an Administrator, or at least listed in /etc/sudoers file.

This can be very usefull in case of selective deletion or removable media (like pendrives).

ANONYMOUS  Well, not everyone wants to pop open the terminal for something that can possibly be done with a simple GUI method (even if it DOES do the same thing). Or have to.

If someone wants to never bother to learn the Unix/terminal way to do it, fine. If someone does, that's their choice. (Or Applescript, or Python, or... :)
