Hi, I’m glad to announce version 3 of Super Empty Trash, running on Mojave and newer. https://faqintosh.com/!index77/super-empty-trash

doesn't seem to work with apple 11.01 operating system

Identified attached drives as options to delete from in addition to the mac hd.

Had files that refused to be deleted, even tried running command line stuff, but nothing worked. Installed this, ran it - worked perfect I'm in OSX v10.10

Finally broke in 10.10.1. Goodbye old friend

I will refrain from reviewing, as this did not work in OS X 10.9.1 (13B3116). Claimed the trash was already empty when there was over 500mb visibly in it.

Excellent application. I had a problem and i could not delete a file from my trash. I had tried everything. Trashit, cocktail, repaired the disk and permit ions with disk utility, rebuilt the directory with diskwarrior and tech tool pro, tried to wipe the file with techtoolpro wiie function, changed permissions, boot from a backup disk, boot from edrive, logged in from different accounts etc etc and the file would not get deleted. Then i tried this app and it deleted the file without any problem… even though it took about 5 minutes to do it. I was ready to format the disk just to be able to delete the file and this app saved me from the trouble.

Every time I execute the file it gives me an error that says it cannot delete the .... what's up?

My Trash wouldn't empty because it contained files that I, the administrator, somehow didn't have authority to delete. Also, following a re-installation of the operating system and a deletion of backed up files I no longer needed, there were over 56,000 items in it, and the emptying took too long just to delete the first item. 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.

Cool... Deleted that nasty bugger I had under 10.5.5

WOW! After I spent a lot of time to clean the trash(unsuccessfully) from the old Windows Media Player I found this program and it was a quick magic. Thank you developer.

SUPER SOFTWARE.. This little software delete all the .rsrc files i couldn't do with finder-> Empty Trash. Thank god this is a freeware too.

Nice program. It deleted locked files that other similar programs missed. It works fine in 10.3.

very handy at times when the trash won't empty.

What does this do that Finder > Empty Trash won't do?

In terminal: sudo rm -Rf /Users/username/.Trash/*
