How To Empty Trash On Mac!

Did this work for you?
Yes? 😁 Give me a shoutout in the comments!
No? 😥 Leave a comment with your issue and we'll figure it out together.

my question was the trash will not empty because the cache is in use. In the trash folder I could select cache and delete immediately.. is that safe.

What about secure empty trash? The option is not there in the GUI anymore (at the time of writing this), however is possible in Terminal apparently.

Great video

Hi Trevor,
I'm having the same issue as another user. My Time Machine was filled. I needed / want to delete . I'm trying to delete multiple old files / dates from months ago but I CONTINUOUSLY getting a pop-up notice to SKIP, STOP or CONTINUE. I must constantly hit continue.

It's been days and it is still deleting files from 1 folder and I have 10 other folders.

HELP and Thanks!!!" OR Delete all my trash immediately?
PS...
Delete immediately isn't working.
Thanks!!!

I followed the steps exactly as you explained.
But I couldn't delete it.
I took screenshots, I used them
and then I threw them in the trash.
Now in the trash I have only white files (no images)
and when I want to delete
it is written that they are used in
another task.
I don't use Saffari just google
.Maybe because of Icloud I have these problems.
I don't know why a screenshot thrown in the trash then becomes a white page in the trash.
You explained very well ... and I thank you.
Can you help me further?

Thanks it helped so much!
