Product Description:

This AppleScript force-empties your Trash and/or removes stubborn items. Especially useful if you have files or folders in the Trash with permissions set incorrectly, locked Trash items, want to securely delete a stuck item, or trash items from other partitions. If you drop files or folders onto the Trash It! icon, it will delete them immediately. If you double-click on it, it will clean out your Trash can. Trash It! should be used when:

1. You can't get rid of trash items manually.

2. You can't move items to the trash.

3. You have a large number of items to delete (i.e., previous system folders).

4. You just like using cool scripts. :)


This is not a Finder trash can replacement! It should be used as a last resort!

All you need to do is Hold the Option
BUTTON while you empty the trash,
it does the same thing.

When there is a locked file it will not trash
until you hold the option button down,
then hit Trash.

Three years of no fail emptying trash items claiming to be in use, or ....... This is definitely one of my favorite COMFORT utilities. It is because of this, I have no problem clicking the DONATE button periodically) to encourage continued product maintenance.

Tried to delete permission corrupted files on TC since montha, read in uncountable forums, no chance (not even with terminal, not as root-user, no way. Files have been blocked completely).

This tool killed these files and folders with ease. STUNNING !
