It would be nice to have a feature to empty the garbage in a matter of hours, instead of days...

Is it working? - Version: 1.0, 6/13/2005 09:35AM PST

I installed trashtimer about 6 weeks. To date, I have no evidence that it is working at all. My trash had several files that were way overdue for deletion, but nothing has happened. If the inaction is because they predated TrashTimer install, I would like to know about it.
