[QUOTE="the8thark, post: 1132417, member: 26315"] Just open Terminal, type in rm -rPf ~/.Trash/* (that asterisk is important or you'll end up deleting your Trash folder) and hit enter. Though this will only delete files in the trash on your boot drive. To empty the trash from within Terminal on external drives (all of them), run: rm -rPf /Volumes/*/.Trashes/$UID/ I read that on my net readings. And to answer your question I think that command you posted is the secure delete. [/QUOTE]
