[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1615337, member: 71075"] Open up Terminal (/Applications/Utilities) and enter the following, pressing enter after each. First:[code]cd ~/.Trash/[/code] Second:[code][B]<scary command removed>[/B][/code]It will ask for your password which won't appear on screen as you type (don't worry, your keypresses are being registered). That's it. Note: that won't secure empty it but it will clean it out. [/QUOTE]
