Trash It! 5.0

AppleScript-based application that force-empties your Trash and/or removes stubborn items.

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.

This is a very handy App for getting rid of those items in the Trash which can’t be deleted because there is a process which needs to terminated before they can be deleted.Trash It! reliably finds and terminates those processes and empties your trash can and saves you having to restart your Mac.
