Product Description:

I wrote Trash Lock Files because I was fed up in Mac OS X with not being able to delete many locked files in my trash can without having to unlock them all first. Unlike Mac OS 9 where you could hold the option key down while emptying the trash, this does not work on Mac OS X (as of 10.3.3). Trash Lock Files will unlock all the files in the trash and then send an AppleEvent to the Finder to empty the trash. You can also use Trash Lock Files to unlock all files within a folder you select.

This program is excellent. After wrestling for about a half hour trying to delete WMP for Mac, I found this and it worked beautifully. Kudos

Worked like a charm... - Version: 1.1, 4/24/2007 09:10PM PST

I made the mistake of dragging a Desktop DB file that somehow became visible on an external drive into the trash. The file disappeared and it refused to let the trash empty. TLF 1.1 fixed the problem in a couple moments. Thanks to the author of this great little utility. My problem is solved.

Once set up it worked a treat where nothing else would - Version: 1.1, 11/11/2006 09:10AM PST

I had a bit of trouble setting up Trash Locked Files because I couldn't input the registration key (that you have to email the developer for) on my Intel iMac. Support gave a number of helpful suggestions but it was only when I upgraded to 10.4.8 that it did input and then the application worked as it said. I had done eveything suggested on Apple's support site to get rid of some files in the trash (except single user start-up) but just got that message that I didn't have sufficient privileges....Trash Locked Files sorted that lot out with a click of the mouse.

Excellent - and it's free! So thanks very much.
