Problem emptying trash

I tried posting this question earlier today. It looked like it
worked but never appeared in the forum.

I get this error message when I try to empty the trash bin:
"The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have
permission to access some of the items."

I tried the sudo command found in a similar post, no go.
Is Trash It legitimate? It's hard to know what to trust. I
also tried holding down the control key, that didn't work.

Thanks in advance.

The files in the trash .... where did they come from ?
If they came from an external device, then you need to connect that external device before emptying the trash.

McBie-

Thanks for the reply. It's a folder, came from my desktop.
No files show up when I open the folder.
Any knowledge of Trash It software? It's on the Mac Update
site and cnet as well.

This is strange. Just had another look in the trash bin, it's gone!
