DropObliter8 ReviewBeen using it for years - Version: 1.0, 8/20/2006 04:17PM PST

sidetracked
It's always worked great for me.

Haven't tested yet against newer apps like 'Trash it!'.

DropObliter8 CommentaryunStuffed fine for me... - Version: 1.0, 8/18/2006 03:28AM PST

my problem is different: the file i want to trash is stuck in the Trash - i can't remove it from the Trash, so i can't perform any other operation on it either, such as dropping it onto a droplet.

poop.

i've noticed also that there's a typo in the read me: it says, "note that this is undoable..." where it means to say, "note that this is *not* undoable..."

this is the utility that's come closest to letting me trash the problem folder. too bad it doesn't come close *enough*.
