Emptying (Stubborn) Trash in OS X

Every once in a while, I’ll get files in my Trash that will never leave when I empty it. I’ll get prompted with an error about how the file can’t be removed, and to continue deleting the other files.

I don’t like this.

So, pop into Terminal and go to :

# cd /Users/[Account Name]/.Trash/

issue:

# rm -rf *

That should clear it up. If it’s a permissions issue, just do it as a sudo command:

# sudo rm -rf *

That should clear it up =)
