I downloaded Super Empty Trash 2.3, and it deleted all but one item from the Trash, for some reason, but I was able to delete that in the normal way.
If you have either of these problems, I recommend this App heartily, and with gratitude to its developer, Marco Balestra. The best things are simple, and with few features, this App is no more than it needs to be and easy to use; and because it's free, it's excellent value.

Thank you developer.

sudo rm -Rf /Users/username/.Trash/*
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... :)
