Trash It! is an AppleScript-based application that 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 as well. If you double-click on it, it will clean out your Trash can. This is the software recommended by Apple Tech support when all else fails!
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!
Please note: Trash It! v4.1 is still available on our downloads page for people who prefer it. Special thanks to my beta testers for this version.

Trash It! reliably finds and terminates those processes and empties your trash can and saves you having to restart your Mac.
