[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1650577, member: 234411"] As suggested, the terminal commands work well but follow the advice in the link just provided, i.e. 'cd' to .Trash, and then the 'rm' command can be used safely; by itself, only single files are deleted and not those w/ sub-directories or nested files which require the use of options/switches - simply enter 'man rm' to see the manual for the remove command. Now, I've used [I]Trash It![/I] rarely (keep in mind that your trash bin is NOT for storage, so anything there should be disposable unless accidentally placed) - the app seems to easily handle the individual files, but not the ones w/ sub-directories - using the terminal w/ the appropriate options was needed for me w/ some stubborn items. Finally, keep in mind that when in the terminal, using 'rm' is permanent, i.e. there is NO trash bin. Dave :) [/QUOTE]
