I have used every standard approach to empty my trash. Secure would not handle most of it and whenever I booted up, the trash would refill itself !!

Then the full trash (almost 4,000 files) started to generate Start Up Disk full warnings, a whole separate list of problems.

I downloaded Force Empty Trash, and clicked on the Icon, expecting it to open for install. It didn't work, so I opened my trash -- and it was empty. Too sweet.
